Medicinal Music

I had a really good night last night. I went to see a concert and it awoke something in me that had been laying fast asleep. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed such things. I am a very technical person, especially when it comes to music. I love being able to hear every note played in it's perfection. Such is hard to do when watching a band live. The music sometimes gets drowned out by the screaming and whistling fans, the pyrotechnics, speaker location, distortion, seat location etc. However, having said that, there is something to be said for the sheer energy of thousands of screaming people singing along to the same song. Since I am an energy sponge, it can become somewhat overwhelming when one is soaking up such raw emotion. I almost felt under the influence, but knew that the only thing I was high on was the energy of the bands playing and the fans enjoying a night out experiencing a good old fashioned rock concert. It never ceases to amaze me how something such as a concert can invigorate a person's soul. I suppose that is why music is what it is; a universal language of emotions and experiences. Every song has a story to tell and the story can change depending on the person listening to it and how it relates to their own lives. As Brian May said once, and I am paraphrasing here, "music is like a conversation between the musician and the listener." I had many conversations last night. Some of them were about becoming recharged and restored, some made me remember certain events and times in my life and some made me appreciate the love of my husband and those close to me. There is a certain intimacy that steels over you when these conversations take place, like the music reaches in and strokes your very soul. I am really glad that I went last night and celebrated with thousands of other people, the little conversations we have all had with these songs and artists. There is so much healing to be found within the notes.
Namaste...and rock on!!!!!!!!!
