Music can take you places
It has become a practice to sit down as a family and listen to old melodious songs every other evening. I have realised it over and over again that music has the power to take you to place, moments in time, bring back the smell and taste that you’ve experienced at some point in time in your life.
There is a definite science behind it which is beyond the scope of this little passage to explain. But what matters in a real sense of experience is that, you can transport yourself to any place in the world and feel happy and joy without really leaving the couch.
Makes me wonder at times, how much of what we see and experience is real?
What if everything we see and experience is all happening in our brain, a la Matrix of sorts?
I don’t find that idea to be terrifying, I find it liberating.
But back to music. I realise now, why I always loved music. I couldn’t live without listening to song since I could remember. There is never a moment in my house where there is not some music playing in the background.
It is the lifeline of this family.
