I’m on a bit of a trend here with posts about music and it’s power, but it for now that is the topic of interest at hand. I love when a new song is released, or the recorded version of a song I heard at a concert is released, because to me it’s is the soundtrack for the next few days until I pick another song to play on constant repeat. I saw Mikky Ekko months ago after falling in love with his iTunes Festival set and have kept an eye out for his new music since. His latest release Smile came out and as I was sitting at work the other day listening, it brought a smile to my face simply by listening. I think that is the true power of music. It can make you feel emotion simply by being. You don’t need to be having a rough day, or at a live show, simply by listening to a song I can be granted instant joy or a moment of reflection. It’s pretty powerful and special.
For reference, this version of Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls also hits me with chills and Coldplay’s Fix You can almost always draw a few tears (if the atmosphere is right).
What songs do this for you?
