Today I had the need to write, before my feelings go away and then it is not the same anymore, he!
This week I happened to watch a video that a friend of a friend posted on her wall, since she has recently become a mom! What I experienced when I watched that video is something I cannot explain much with words!!!! That is why I'll let you have your own experience and then I'll tell you my conclusion, but, before you read, you HAVE TO WATCH the video!! You won't regret it, believe me!!! =)
Isn't she cute? I've watched this video like 10 times and I don't get tired of it. Plus, everytime I watch it I cry over and over and over again.
Apart from the cute baby and her eyes full of tears, I couldn't help having one thought coming and going in my head: how amazing music is!
You all know that I love music and, yes, I know that I owe you singing a little bit for you. But, apart from that, it really calls my attention how music breaks all boundaries, barriers, languages, race, age! And here's the proof! This little girl was ten month old when recorded while she listened to her mom singing. Of course, her mom has a really beautiful voice! But, anyway, I think that many people have a beautiful voice and they do not make their babies cry out of emotion! Do they? In my opinion, this child has music in her blood, running in her veins.
If you pay attention, she is not crying because she is hungry; she is not crying because her diapers need to be changed; she is not crying because she fell and hurt herself somehow. She is, indeed, suffering but, her suffering is connected to how much she can feel that song, how much it gets her and there is how amazing music is.
I think that all of us have music in our veins, some of us more than some others. However, who does not listen to music when feeling sad, happy, upset, angry? I believe that we all do turn to music as a therapeutic resource.
So, what do you think about it? What does music do in your life?
Have a nice weekend!! =)
Oops, we have written about the same topic! I love the videooo, the song, the little baby, everything!
ReplyDeleteI liked your reflection and how you relate everything to music. No doubt you love it.
In my case, I have to say that I studied music since I was only three-years old, till I was 16. At that moment, I got a degree as a teacher, in Santa Fe. By then, I used to hate it due to the array of obligations it implied. But later on, I came back to the field of music, like an old lover who returns home. Nowadays, I play organ in two different places, and I love it. At the same time, I feel useful. I really love music.
ReplyDeleteI adored the video! I have already seen it and it bring tears to my eyes every time I watch it! I think that this particular baby has an inner ability to connect with artistic expressions, related to music, or to music and her mom! Simply adorable.
ReplyDeleteCutest thing ever :) I believe that you are certainly right when you say that music can break all cultural, traditional, political and economic barriers. I think that the best example, where you can really witness the power of music, is in a concert. It does not matter what your skin color is, if your are young or old, if you are rich or not, differences are left aside and at the chorus we are all the same. Trust me, I ´ve witnessed that.
