For the love of music

People listen to their choice of music for years on end not just because it's their favorite music or the music of the present day is terrible (ok sure this is probably true too). But it brings back feelings of youth, happiness, hopefulness, a sense of nostalgia for the innocent years. Our music keeps us young, carefree and passionate. There's a deep connection between important events and the music of that time, it triggers memories of all emotions from sadness to happiness. We often do not explore and listen to new types of music because automatically there is no sense of connection with the new music. Our subconscious mind looks for familiarity for a sense of belonging. Music is a reflection of our life, our soul, our love, emotions, friends, family, everything important to us. So next time your parents or siblings are listening to that awful music of theirs, ask them why they love it so much, there might be a story behind it. Music is deeply connected to our overall psyche, enjoy it, love it, embrace it. It is a powerful entity, it can unite as well as divide. But you can make it your own. Music is your choice.
