Like change, music is one of the constant things in life. There is a song for every emotion, a line and a beat that perfectly sums up each circumstance, and an artist that brings inspiration like no other. When we have trouble expressing our thoughts and feelings, we can simply put on our go-to playlist or skim through albums until we find that one song that resonates with our present emotional state. Having an appreciation for music brings many discoveries, too. Genre after genre, one artist after another.
And there’s nothing quite like stumbling across a unique piece executed so flawlessly by an artist that’s new to you.
