Getting Lost in Music

Within "Sunny's Blues" one main theme that I loved was how he used Music to be a getaway. When he was facing a problem or when he was in pain emotionally, he always went to music. I can really and strongly relate to this because when I am facing a problem or difficulty, I love to go sit down and play piano. I go write a song or even when I am angry, I go play drums and really take my anger out on them because honestly no one knows. I think music is a big part of this story because it really brought the brothers together in the end. As I read this story it really clicked with me that I am not the only who goes to music to get away from problems such as family problems, relationship problems, school problems, the list could go on and on. In this lifetime we as Christians and even non Christians face so many problems growing up. Not many people are blessed with a good family or even blessed financially and as they go those tough times in life God should be the only get away but for some unsaved people and even saved people; music is a great way to get a away from your problems and just sit down, relax, and just listen to good music that will calm you in your time of struggle. I looked up music on dictionary.com and the definition of music is, an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. As I read this it really confirmed what I am trying to convey here in this blog. As we live our lives my prayer is that we never forget how important music is to us as humans. Even within "Sunnys Blues" it really brought the brothers together and as they bonded through music maybe this could even work for us. Maybe music will be the bonding point for brothers to become friends again, for relationships to be mended again, just for life to become one. Music is a very important tool that sometimes we take advantage of. Maybe it is time we begin to show our love for music and begin to apply it to our every day lives beginning today?
