Have you ever listened to a song, and just been dumbstrucked by the lyrics? There are those songs that I can just listen to a fragment of, and be compelled with inspiration, motivation and exuberance, or in other cases, guilt and sadness. The raw emotion blares out of my speakers and transmits itself into my body.
The singer connects to me and seduces me with his relateable lyrics. He's telling me that in the end, it will be okay. He's telling me that this love will last forever. He's telling me that the best is yet to come. He's telling me to smile, to laugh, to cry. And I do and I believe what he's telling me, if only for a moment.
On that bad day I know exactly which song to play that instantly makes the rain cloud over my head disappear. Or the song for when I just need to wallow in my own sadness. Whatever emotion I need to feel, I can achieve it with music. Omnipotency. I like, and need, to hold the power over how I'm feeling. It's nice to come home after a long day of having my emotions controlled by friends, family and strangers, and just turn up my music and control it all on my own.
