Music, The Universal Language

Have you ever listened to a song, and at the end of if you felt some type of emotion? Songs are very powerful ways of expressing how you feel. I've said it before, it's a damn good song if it reminds you of a horrible incident, yet you can still listen to it.

Sometimes when I feel a certain way, my music will reflect it. My running is a perfect example. If I feel relaxed and plan on running for miles on end, I can only listen to acoustics, easy melodies, and calm voices to get me in my zone. In retrospect, when I'm getting ready for a big night I can't help but listen to upbeat tempos that get me moving and excited for the evening.

I love songs with beautiful lyrics. A lot of the old songs have simple sounds, yet their words are amazing.

John Lennon's "Imagine" always makes me feel inspired.

What song inspires you?
