From the Editor:
Though years pass quickly and life goes fast, special moments seem to freeze in time, music
holding those forever moments. As we constantly look ahead to our future, we can’t help
but be reminded of both the good and the sad of the past—music takes us to those places.
A song can take us to a particular place or time, lyrics can read our minds and speak to our
present lives, putting our unspoken thoughts in a place that makes sense, a place that breathes our
secrets. Songs can also make us push rewind to the “remember-when” moments, reminding us of an emotion or a time that we’ll never let go of. Music simply speaks to our hearts. There is some sort of cleansing that happens when we begin humming or singing along to a song. We sing along to the words that resonate, words that are therapeutic and medicine for the soul, if only for a moment.
