Does Music Help You Express Yourself?

Most of us consider music as our escape. It helps us get out of problematic situations, loneliness, or even heartbreaks. 

We also consider it our best friend—something that is always for us no matter what or how we feel. Each and every note of the songs we listen to makes us think we are not alone. Because of music, we know that there is something that we can run to when we want to let out the burden we feel inside. 

But, music is not only for those who are feeling down. Music is for everyone! Whether you feel sad, happy, in love, heartbroken, or lost, there’s music that you can relate to.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your phones and put your favorite music on!

That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe’er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
