Life Is Beautiful

"Life is beautiful."

I heard a song the other day in which the singer, with more emotion than I can duly express, said those exact words--and what tickled me about it was that I agreed with the sentiment. It almost reduced me to tears, because it has been far too long since I could truly feel that way.

Music can have that effect on people. When you hear a song that overwhelms you, it's almost like an epiphany--like finally discovering a treasure that has been right beneath you all along. I love music for that reason. I love to play it, and I love to hear it. I'm going to repost something that I posted a while ago on another site...to kind of give you an idea of what it feels like for me to play music for a room full of people.
