Music
One of life’s greatest and most beautiful mysteries is music. Where does it come from, and why does it move us so deeply? When a piece of music resonates, we are experiencing something deeply personal, something highly individual and reassuringly collective. We feel emotionally affected and affirmed, our senses sway in sync, our heart beats in time, our mind absorbs the lyrics, our spirit rises and falls on the waves of sound. Music, with or without words, is one of the most powerful forms of storytelling. And as Playing For Change reminds us, music can bring the world together.
