Music in the Soul

A pleasant sound for the ears, made with some sort of instrument. There’s the flute, who’s delicate high notes can carefully construct a beautiful melody. There’s the versatile piano that can be used to play almost anything. A violin that if the bow is used correctly almost has its strings sing as it plays. And of course there is also the instrument that no one can see or touch, your own voice.

For a very long time I have personally enjoyed singing as well as dancing along to the beat of any song or musical number. There was just something about the emotions that a song contained, the message that the lyrics conveyed, and the instincts that the beat awoke from deep inside.

If I know the lyrics I sing along proudly not really caring who is listening to me. If I don’t know the lyrics I’ll hum along to the melody and maybe save the song for further addition to my playlist. But always in both cases more often than not people watching me will see me dance. Now it’s not good dancing by any means, I don’t have the sense to move my body properly in order to dance in an alluring way.

Instead, I move the way the music seems to be telling my body as if it’s speaking to my very soul. This could vary from just a head bop to a more full body exertion. Either way I enjoy the music without shame for I know that music is one of the few things that truly understand me.

There is music for when I’m feeling sad, happy, angry, joyful, embarrassed, upset, salty, annoyed, wishful, spiteful, or romantic. All of these moods each have a specific song or a couple of songs to go with them. More often than not there are specific songs that I relate to specific events that have happened in the past.

The artist of the song may have had their own circumstances and have their own people that they are singing to. For me, with songs that relate to past events, all of what the artist intended doesn’t matter. In that moment, I’m singing with all of my soul to whatever person or event made me relate to the song so deeply.

Music may just be a pleasant sound to most people, but to me it’s like a window. A read into my emotions, my thoughts, my actions. Music is ingrained deep in my soul. Music is my soul.

Conclusions

A bit more of a reflective piece this time. I do realize that it’s a little late but I was working on NaNoWriMo and didn’t have time to write this until later. Until next time!
