Girl humming.

Saturday 13th December 2008.

I watched a documentary today. It was about how songs and music have affected people over time and how they have changed.
A few years ago someone said to me, "Life doesn't revolve around music." Well I beg to differ. (Here we go again...)
Many people have a birth song, if they don't then they almost definitely have songs played at a christening or a naming ceremony. At your 6th birthday party, your 16th, your 60th! All of these occasions are encrusted in songs. If anyone reminds you of a party you've been to I can almost guarentee that you can remember an exact song that was played there. Significant times or moments in your life can be associated with a song. We pick songs to be played at our funerals, weddings and every other occasion possible. Every day when you drive to work you have music played on the radio. Songs can define a person. Songs can make you happy, sad, laugh, cry or just simply smile as you remember the first time you heard it.
So for someone to say to me that, "Life doesn't revolve around music." Well let's just say that for someone to make such a claim they must be deaf or very well isolated.



-Yeah, I really do...

There's a song in everyone's heart.
