Afri-InLeo Initiative 21 - The Healing Power of Music: A Universal Comfort for the Soul.

Music is everything we can think of because it has the ability to heal in every aspect. Regardless of what ever might have happened to anyone at any time, there is always a way music can key into the situation and find a way out. This is why I love the topic for Afri-Inleo Initiative 21, which is titled How Music Heals. Have you ever been in a situation where you get into a problem, and you cannot get someone to console you? And you have to just listen to music to get the relief you want, and when you listen to music, regardless of the kind of music it is, you will get in good shape for yourself.

Music is of different types and of different genres, so the way we choose songs really matters. Someone who likes jazz music will get relieved when they listen to it. Someone who likes to listen to a soulful music will get ease when they listen to a soulful music, and someone who loves blues music will get relief when they listen to blues music. But how does music really heal?

Imagine listening to a blues song. And you are a lover of blues music, and now that you are depressed at some point, no matter the situation at hand, you will first not get attached to the song because you are not yourself, but since you love that song, and it's something you really love to listen to, you will listen to it, and by then you will understand the message the lyrics are passing along. There is a saying that when you are in a good shape, you listen to music, and when you are depressed and down, you will understand the lyrics of music.

This is very correct to some point because I once had an experience with it. On this day, I was not happy, and I thought to myself, What can I do to make myself happy for some time, even if it does not really lighten up my mood? Then I went to my music library and checked for some songs that I had, and I played them. After about some minutes of playing, I began to listen to the lyrics of the song, and I was able to understand some of the lyrics, which was not my first time hearing the song but the fact that I was down at that moment, I was able to get meaning to the song.

Music really heals the soul because there is nothing we can do in this life without music, and just a good beat is enough to get us on our toes, and then you feel very happy even without music being embedded into it. A life without music will be a life without real value because music says it all, no matter the condition a man can get. This music in the same vein can be used to pass a message across to heal someone, even when you are not right beside the person. Music is very versatile and has a lot of roles if you really explore it.
