Music is what feelings sound like.

Photo by: Angie Nan From time to time, I find myself listening to a song that stirs everything up. This song will then be played hundreds of times, over and over again, for weeks, sometimes even months. Usually it’s a song that make me feel something. A song with a very good melody, one that gives me a couple of goose bumps here and there, or one that reminds me of a particular someone or event. Of course the music that I find extremely inspirational might be annoying to you, because each individual experiences music differently. Generally however, fast paced music...
