The Overwhelming Beauty of Music
I feel like emotions and feelings have a small little world of their own. Small and little, yet magnificently diverse. Music gives them a new and unexplored dimension. With each new beat and tune that strikes your eardrum and with each lyrically melodious line that reverberates within your soul, you feel a calm storm swirling within your own ocean of emotions.
Music makes you feel things you previously have not felt before. It fuels your thoughts, ignites them and simultaneously quenches your thirst and yearning for moments and hypothetical scenarios that you wish to feel, enjoy and cherish. It simply assuages your aching and longing for something or someone, subtly casting its heroic shadows upon you whenever the familiar feelings of loneliness and dejection nip you like needles, so that you never feel alone by its side.
Music makes you visit places that you have never been to before. It automatically teleports you to the deep chambers of your mind that you never knew existed, and sweeps through the dustiest corners of your heart.
It conjures imagery and evokes emotion like nothing else at all. It takes you to roads that you desire to drive on, and it takes you to lonely beaches on lonely nights, with no one else but yourself by the dusky sand and the waves walloping it. It sometimes takes you to romantically serene scenes with a loved one, and makes you reminisce about the ones you once loved. It sometimes takes you to places so bright and overwhelming, your tear ducts go into an overdrive(and you do cry, sometimes) and at the same time, it takes you to alleyways so dark, you feel like you’re stuck in a seemingly bottomless chasm, never to come out of it again(yet you do, magically).
Your sentiments latch onto the resplendent lyrics that a song has to provide like a parasite. While it does not always provide a respite, it always stays there, silent and tacit, like a gentleman helping you with a classic disaster on a fine ball evening.
Music is sometimes like fireworks; it enthrals you, illuminates you and leaves you in awe. During the darkest of times, it reminds you of one of the most cardinal facts of the universe: Pain, grief, sorrow and suffering are ubiquitous and inevitable. It screams,”You’re not alone, and you definitely aren’t the only one going through the same situation. Stay strong!”
In a world full of irregularities, imperfections and disharmony, music offers structure and rhythm to most of the common as well as the harshest of feelings. Thus, music, essentially, is the elixir of life. An elixir which never seems to run out, and an elixir which when concocted the right way, has the power to stir millions.
