THE RIGHT SONG


All day, we felt a strong need to listen to this particular song. It’s euphoric and joyful, with a chorus that rises to sublime heights. That’s not quite been our dominant mood over the last few hours, but the song is helping out our tentative inclinations to hope and courage. It is strengthening the best sides of our nature. Like an amplifier with its signal, music doesn’t invent emotion; it takes what is there in us and makes it louder. By finding the right piece of music at the right time we’re adding an accompanying score to our lives that allows our own best reactions to be more prominent and secure. We end up feeling the emotions that are our due. We can live according to what we actually need to feel.
