Music To My Moods

Being a part of the female species, I’ve been a victim of hurricanes of moods, whims and fancies. I’ve gone from being euphoric to intensely depressed, I’ve gone from being mushy to way too detached, and through these whirlpools of moods, all mashing together in a maddening mess- from happiness, loneliness, anger, disappointment, to feeling worthless- music has stayed by me. The dancer  in me is grateful for its beats and its ability to give me an adrenaline rush, the occasional bi-polar in me is grateful for its capacity to adjust itself to my fickle emotions, while the teenager me is grateful for its healing properties and the escape that it provides when the world’s ways get too overwhelming and claustrophobic.  I’ve been in a long standing relationship with music and If I could, I’d marry it.

Thus it would come as no surprise to anyone who is aware of my immense love for Music, what my reaction to discovering a website called ‘stereomood’ was – pure elation. This is a website where one can find music that the person could relate to in the moment, and has got to be one of the best discoveries I’ve ever made in the plethora of mysteries to be found, on the internet. Here's a link to the website:

One song that I’d stumbled upon on the website, one that continues to inspire me, is the song ‘Begin Again’ by Measure. It’s a song that happened to pop up on my options as I’d typed in the words ‘I feel lost and uninspired’ into the search box,  and is one that I constantly listen to, when I’ve uncertainties clouding the paths I’d carved out to help me reach my dreams or at times when things don’t quite work out the way I want them to and fears of failures and desperation driven feelings of quitting creep up to eclipse my dreams - this song uplifts me, making me want to start afresh, because it seems to tell me that the awakening and refreshing dawn is not far away. It helps me pick myself up, brush off all that keeps me from going on, and look at things from a more positive angle. And for someone like me, that's quite hard a feat to achieve. It’s a song that liberates me, that breaks the chains that I seem to entangle myself in, when faced with a problem, or several ones for that matter, and I can’t help but share it with you all, simply because we could all use some motivation sometimes. 

Here's a link to the song: 

This song is one of the many songs that have held my hand through the dark times, laughed with me through my joys and giggled with me as I went down memory lane to re-live funny moments with those I love the most and stereomood has just made the process easier. Music has now become such an essential part of my living- it is safe to say that I am, an addict- that even the possibility of having to part with it, horrifies me. You could say that I can't do without my daily dose of music, for it is what truly keeps my sanity intact. Infact, as I type this, I'm swaying to the strums of a guitar- to the tunes of an acoustic song, I adore. 

Ah, doesn't music make life, so much better?
