A Song That Gives You All the Feels

     Emphasis on the title. It's that song that gives you all the feels, the one that seems to miraculously describe how you’re feeling phrase after phrase. You're sitting there (mind blown) wondering how is this happening. You can't help but admit that Taylor Swift song is catchy (bow down), or deny the impact The Beetles had on our culture. Music is one of the greatest gifts we have in life. It brings us together, makes us happy, and gives us the joy of throwing our head back and belting our favorite song at the top of our lungs. Ah, to live.

    We all have that one artist, band, or group that makes us look forward to experiences through music. I'm not just talking about concerts, or the unforgettable Coachella experience everyone is craving. I'm talking about how we define moments in our life through music. Think about it, isn't there that one song that takes you back to a special place, memory, or time in your life? If you were a kid growing up in the 90s like myself, we remember groups like the Spice Girls, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, you name it. Total flashback every time one of their songs came on. Music has a natural place in our life, it's always there, whenever we need it. That in itself, is beautiful. 

   The connection between life and music continues as we grow up. Our graduation slideshow, or finding the perfect wedding song, it all becomes important aspects of our life. Music is the power of one person's story relating to another, and in some way it makes the world go round. Decade after decade, music has a way of defining a generation in the most authentic way. The idea is simple, the message is what you make of it. La Vie est Belle.
