I haven't listened to any for a while now and so was taken aback this morning when I was watching a live version of one of my all-time favourite songs. It moved me to tears. I could 'feel' the song in my soul - it was almost as if the words and the music washed through me. Can anyone relate? Why is it sometimes so difficult to capture a sensation in words?!
I think it's a self-expression thing - something I am learning to do more and more. Those singers are showing the world who they are. I still can't sing a song without my throat closing up and being carried away by the emotion of it, but that's ok with me - as long as nobody asks me to sing on stage in the near future LOL!
And coincidentally I even get to watch the extraordinary Gareth Malone on tv this evening with his new Choir programme. He is such an inspiring and enthusiastic choir master - he knows that everyone can sing and encourages them to do so - I think the universe is trying to tell me something!
I think I'm going to add a 'music' box to my journal so that I can make sure I remember to incorporate it every day.
