Music can have such a huge impact on your life.
You may already know this, but just yesterday I searched up Avril Lavigne on itunes and I started to cry after listening to all of her songs. Why? Because I used to listen to her music all the time in elementary school, the good ol' days. Music can transport your mind to such a happy and fearless place. It could even remind you of a terrible time period and bring you back to those places too (ahh change the song, change the song!) And I find it funny how, while listening to Avril Lavigne's songs yesterday, I could remember nearly all the lyrics and I haven't listened to one of her songs since, what, 2008? Maybe 2009 at the latest? It's crazy really. Also, music is like magic. Feeling down? Just put on that one song that always reminds you of that one time you went on vacation or that really peaceful place. For example, Hey Porsche by Nelly will probably forever stay my favorite song because it reminds me of when I used to talk to my crush all the time..
Music is definitely more than cords and vocals. It's memories.
