The Joy of Music

Music is not a part of life
It’s a way of life
Music is a way of being, seeing, thinking, and feeling
To play music is to live
Not just to have a pulse
But to really experience life
To feel what it means to be alive
And share that feeling with others
That’s the real magic of music
Speaking what cannot be said
Communicating frequencies
That can only be understood
Through sound
Connecting and sharing emotions
With others
In real time
Experiencing happiness together
Happiness becomes real when it’s shared
And music is a way to share happiness
And feel less alone
Even if it’s only for a little while
