The messages surround us everywhere, all day long, every day. You only need to open your mind then your eyes can’t help but see. And once you start seeing…all of your fears will subside, your heart will begin to heal, you will believe in having dreams again, you will experience more beauty than you can imagine right now, and your world around you will literally change right in front of your eyes.
The most beautiful aspect, I think, of lyrics is that while I am sure there is an intention that the songwriter has with her/his words, they never know how those words will be interpreted. Song interpretations, in my experience, are extremely personal. A song can elicit one feeling from one person and a completely different feeling from another based on each one’s associated memories. I find that fascinating.
In this ‘Mainstream Messages’ section of my site, I will begin by sharing songs whose lyrics express what I like to call, “It” – my own personal interpretation, of course. (I was calling it “It” before I learned of Ziggy Marley’s song, by the way.)
So, the next time you listen to one of these songs (and there are many, many more out there)…if you haven’t already…REALLY listen to the lyrics. And feel the expressions with the music. Only then can you begin to experience what music can do for your soul. Music can help you heal…on every level.
