"For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness." -Reba McEntire
A wonderful quote from an amazing woman and performer. Music is what gets many of us through some of the most difficult times. It can save lives, when the weight of the world seems unbearable. Captivating songs are a precious reprieve, allowing the release of pain and acknowledgment of the joy of living.
Music is directly correlated to development and memory. It has been proven to improve the wellbeing of people who are suffering from physical ailments, as well as mental. I highly recommend watching a wonderful documentary called Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory. It’s a tearjerker that will motivate you to dig out your old iPods and donate them to a good cause. http://musicandmemory.org/donate-my-ipod/
