Music makes me think

  This week we were told to do some stuff with music. Write about it, answer questions about it, make a poem out of song lyrics, and more stuff. But it got me thinking. How many times a day do you think of a song that you heard on the radio on your way to school? Why does that song get stuck in your head? And why do we remember songs from years ago?
  All of those questions are good questions but can you answer them? I believe that reason you do remember those songs is because it made you feel some. It pulled at your heart strings, cliché I know, but its true. Without that one song you heard on your way to work or school, your day would go with what that song made you feel. This morning I heard "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus and although it made me sad I also felt like I was ready to move on from my totally stupid nine month relationship even if he "wrecked me." Songs like that is what really makes you or breaks you. It amazes me how one song could so much power.
  Find your song and run with it. Play it a thousand times over and over again for months because if it makes you better there's no reason why you shouldn't be happy. You deserve that.

  1. I agree--songs have such power to help us heal but also to invade our thoughts. What I wonder about is how/why I know every single word to songs I don't even like, and how those get stuck in my brain so often...
