Who's a Healer? Music!

You’re just a little soul carrying around a corpse.

And have you ever wondered how you can make your soul impeccable and the corpse alive? The answer could differ for everybody’s superior minds, but the ultimate source of medicine is what you call a ‘sound’. A little piece of sound could break you, or shape you. You may feel yourself larger than anything, but then again, sometimes tiny things have masterpieces inside.

    The ultimate source of energy is the Sun. The human race loves the sun. Just as big as it is, there is a small, invisible thing called sound. A sound can make you go deaf, or it can give you life.

A sound may or may not be very pleasant to the ears, but whatever sound it is, when it is in a constant rhythm, you can relate to it. You can relate to the exact intervals, the gaps, and the mood of the rhythm. It can even be the excess water dropping slowly from the tap in your bathroom, or it can be a huge concert with enormous people shrieking their lungs out.

The name given to this rhythmic sound is Music. I’m not certain, but I think the word Music comes from the word Muse, because after all, music is really a muse.

Don’t they say, “When you’re happy and you know it clap your hands”?
There’s the sound of music, which is, undoubtedly, very intriguing or enchanting, and then there’s the sound of applause that you get as praise when you perform. Personally, there’s no sound better than applause to me, because it feels so right when you know that the bunch of people in front of you like what you’re doing, there’s just no better feeling. Applause is soothing to the ears.

Different songs in a playlist can change your moods as fast as nothing else. Slow songs can drive you into a trance, and rapid ones tend to energize you up. It’s a fact that you’ll enjoy the music of a song, but when you really look deep into the lyrics, you would find yourself rethinking your own life, criticizing world issues, or just remembering good moments.

People sing songs for those who are dead, so that their soul could peacefully blend into the sky. But there are people, who sing for their loved ones who are on the verge of dying, on their death bed, unable to speak, or walk. According to research, music can put someone on the road to recovery even when the doctors have given up. I think music can even bring dead people alive, let alone just diseased. If you don’t trust the researches, surf the net for the stories and events of people’s lives and how they recovered by the ‘Music Therapy’ that has become common today.

And Music is not only the saviour of diseased people, but also the life saver of today’s stressed out students. When it comes to science (there’s science in everything, isn’t it?), listening, or even better, playing music tends to divide the brain into two halves, and get them to work, which in turn helps in the vast, perpetual academics.

People get lifetime achievement awards just for devoting all their lives to a simple thing called music.
A few simple phrases that won’t sound very appealing when said, sound so incredibly amazing and eye-opening when put into music.
Things that can’t be put into words, can be described by music.
There are people who are affected by the lyrics, and there are those who are touched by the melody.


I’m writing this in 2015, and years later when I would look back into it, I can’t imagine what wonders Music would have caused.
