Music

Music is mysterious.

It expresses words, thought, and emotion that plain words simply cannot. It can manifest sense and power into things that, without a melody, are confusing and mundane. If there is such a thing as magic, music is filled with it.

Think about it. When you want to pump up the party, you turn up the music. Somebody break your heart? Turn up the music. Nervous about that ski jump? Music. Just need something to help you think? Music. It's the cure to every disease, the heartbeat of every emotion, the amplifier of life.

It is a universal language, that is spoken and understood by every human being. It is the bookmark of memories, memories that are relived in minute detail when that old tune comes on the radio. Students use it to help them study. Athletes use it to give them strength. Soldiers use it to help them kill. Every living person listens to music, to heal, to empower, to think, to relax, to understand, to remember, to forget.

Whatever you find yourself doing, you can incorporate music to add to the power of experiences in life. Or, if you have nothing else to do, turn it up and lose yourself. Or find yourself. You can do, feel, be anything, as long as you have music.

Turn it up. But not too loud, or you'll lose your hearing. And that would just plain suck.
