You know that moment when you're just sitting in a car or bus, lost in your thoughts and suddenly an old song you used to love comes on. In that moment, every other thing fades into the background of your mind, it's like it's just you and the music. What makes that moment more special is when there's someone else with you who can feel exactly what you feel, it could be a friend, a sibling or even a random stranger. Just knowing that there's someone else who can relate to the music is enough to bring a smile to your face. I'm sure that all of us, at one point or the other in our lives have experienced this unexplainable feeling of ecstasy and nostalgia that music brings.
When I was in secondary school, my music teacher said, "music is a combination of sounds that is pleasant to the ear", I don't think so. I think music is more than just an ordinary combination of pleasant sounds, I think music is magic. I believe music is joy, I believe music is memory.
It is magic in the way a song comes on and you listen to the lyrics and it feels like the singer is talking directly to you, like the song was made just for you. It is joy in the way you're at a party and the beat moves you to dance, not minding who is around you. It is memory in the way a favorite song of yours brings back memories of childhood, a long lost friend or a former lover.
Music is art, music is expression.
Simply put, music is a gift.
