The Power of Do Re Mi..

Music is such a powerful tool.
I am not a professional musician (at least not yet!) yet I enjoy listening and playing all sorts of music styles and instruments. The fact that you can paint images of emotions, messages or even places through certain arrangements of melodies really amazes me. Each note a song carries can lift your discouraged soul, break your heart, or brings you to deep thinking through its lyrics.
Imagine movies without music and you’ll get a bland presentation, just like a cake without taste.

It’s at times like this when I truly realize that I love music so much! To create a beautiful ballad is like inviting people to just stop and enter a tale of love, a journey from one melody to another. And what so great about music is, it’s not the only world in which this tale exists. When one listens to a song, the music in that song is just a media for one’s mind to travel wherever it may lead. Music is just a vehicle where listeners have the freedom of creating their own imagination of whatever messages or emotions that music brings. For instance, when you hear a Mozart piece, person A might imagine a beautiful castle with royal surroundings, where person B might have a classic museum with beautiful paintings in mind.

That’s why music is so universal. It’s a language anyone can understand and comprehend, not merely limited to those who can play musical instruments or music literate. I’m currently listening to Mandarin music although my Mandarin skill is very very limited. The chance of me understanding every words the singer is singing is slim to none. Still, I'm able to grasp every stroke of emotions that the singer/musician tries to capture through his or her music.
That is a place I’m longing to be at. To create beautiful music, and add another melody to this world.
