Recently I've come to realize how every emotion you've ever felt, (or will ever feel) in your life, has been felt at one point in time (or is being felt at this very moment) by someone else in the world. I'm an avid fan of music in general, and I listen to a lot of genres from heart-pounding hiphop to the powerful notes of opera, to just plain pop. Sometimes the rhythm and melody is entertaining enough, but when you're feeling a little emotionally charged, listening and understanding the lyrics of the songs you love is a good way to let the gears in your head start turning (maybe in a way, this can drown out the irrational beatings of your heart). If you think your life is complicated, and no one could even begin to understand what you're thinking, just start listening, and you'll realize that in terms of the complexities of human life, no one is ever alone in their mourning, or even in their happiness. Anything you could ever think about, like faith, loneliness, love, heartache, beauty, anger, jealousy, fear, despair, numbness... anything at ALL, people have written music about them. In this way, people create a harmony of poetry and melody that not only reminds us that life is indeed so interesting that people do not run out of things to write about, but also of music to make that takes your heart to that one place and time someone else has been to already... Allowing us to connect as human beings, whether or not we will ever meet those masters of emotion, or the other people whose lives they have touched, in our entire lifetime.
I would like to mention all of the songs I've ever loved and felt a connection to, or all those singers, writers and composers who make the days seem less lonely, but there are simply too many! So I just wanna say, keep listening people! And never forget that life is a little less dreary when you keep the music playing.

Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan"
