What Music Means to Me

Music means a lot of things to me, it is so hard to put that into words. In my toughest times when i do not even understand how to express myself, the music does it for me. For instance, this is quite personal but I wasn't there to say goodbye to my grandma before she passed away. I feel so sick to my stomach at times when i think about the fact of not going with my dad to the nursing home for the last time when she had passed away;correspondently, i knew that if i would have seen her, the image of her face would of still been in my mind for ever. The pain that she was enduring was a pain i did not want to imagine her having. I came across a song called "Yellow" by Coldplay and found out that the lyrics were about the singers mom passing away of liver cancer and having yellow skin tone. I related to this song so much and when i listen to it, i feel like i am having a long-lasting conversation with her. Thats what music does: music speaks for me when i do not even have the words to express myself. It is there for me when I cannot even be there for myself, and that is the beauty of it all.
