Man's Most Versatile Friend

As I love music, it tends to be a topic I often blog about. I've talked before on its benefits and on the importance of respecting others' music choices. There's one particular benefit, though, that I've only recently thought about. Artists often get some of their best inspiration from personal experience, from the emotions they feel immediately after an event. They translate these experiences into melodious stories, beautiful sagas of which many can relate. This, right here, is the magic of this music: the extent to which we can associate with these artists, sense their concerns, feel their emotions all through the strumming of a guitar. When we, too, feel as these artists feel, these songs help us realize that we are not alone in the experiences we go through. To listen to Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" and to know that others have endured the loss of a loved one before as we are going through that very experience gives us a sense of belonging, of serenity, of relief.
