MUSIC FOR

THE SOUL

​

Am I alone in thinking that when listening to songs in a particular mood it's not just the happy upbeat ones that lift you, even the deep ones can offer some comfort. Sometimes although a melody can be lamenting with a sorrowful tone, for some reason it resonates - it's lyrics & melancholyness often whispers to you like a lullaby. It encapsulates the way you are or were feeling at a point in your life; despite maybe ironically describing the hurt and pain you felt at the time and putting it into words. For me the unexpected feel good vibes despite the sadness comes from the fact that whoever was able to put my heartbreak to music - whether in love, life or loss must have felt what I felt and that I am not alone and not only that but they've somehow put my feelings perfectly into words which validate my feelings of pain and confusion.....We all need a  a little upbeat and funky at times but it's good to know we are not alone and that there is even comfort and camaraderie in the sad times when they are shared and although we shouldn't dwell too long, there is nothing wrong in feeling and embracing a little of that sadness every now and then  - below are some of my favourite go to's, good or bad a song fits a mood  X
