i believe that at certain points throughout our lives, we drift through periods of time that can only truly and completely be defined by a single song.
music is so much more than an art - it is a feeling; a passion; an ache inside of us stronger than words alone can communicate that can be played or strummed or sang in a way that connects on such a deep level that we realize the product of music isn't just a song at all. it's the itch inside of us to be who we are, the pain of heartbreak, the unexplicable happiness of love, the hope of something bigger and greater than life itself. real music can't hide anything. music is our souls ripped open to reveal what's inside, the whole truth and nothing else.
