Music in My Soul
The Sounds of Silence

Earbuds in, volume up, and away I go…
Music sets the mood for my day. Depending on how I feel when I wake, it could be jazz, 80’s hair band, or my favorite: Classic Rock.
Ever since I was a teenager, music kind of defined me. I love all types of music, but Classic Rock takes me to my happy place. It’s the one thing besides writing and reading that can keep me focused. If at any moment I start to get anxious, I just put on a song by Neil Young, Bob Dylan, or The Grateful Dead and let the music flow through my soul. The music immediately takes me away. Everything around me disappears and I focus on the sound and the lyrics.
Music truly is a sound of silence because it quiets the goings-on in my head.
Thank you so much for reading and supporting my writing journey!
