Wrapped in the Arms of Music

At the risk of sounding cliche, music is a balm to the troubled soul. Music rides life’s highs and brings more joy to the good times, but it also brings comfort in the lows. If you watch a movie without the soundtrack, you won’t experience the same emotions as you would with the soundtrack. Music has a way of influencing how you feel. When a baby is crying, you sing lullabies to calm it down.

When I’m sad one of the only things that makes me feel better is music. It’s such a good thing to escape into. A writer can be completely honest in music. I can turn to music when I’m sad and be comforted. Music allows me to cry and doesn’t condemn me.

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

When I’m sad all I need is a hug and to be wrapped in the arms of music.
