Some days music is the only thing in life that makes sense. ...if it doesn't speak to your soul you simply change the song.

That's the truth - music is soul food - it nourishes the soul like nothing else can! Great epigram with that deeper message. Hugs. Pandita

I'm certain most people find refuge in song. i know I do. I like most kinds of music although the older i get the softer i like it. I also know if you don't C#(sharp) you'll B(flat). lol
