When songs save people.

What would your life be like without music?

When I think about what my life would be without music I reflect upon a scene from the Johnny Cash movie Walk the Line. Johnny Cash and his band were at Sun Records attempting to record a gospel song. In the middle of the song record producer Sam Phillips stops them and tells them he can’t accept any more gospel music, that this song they were playing would not sell. He went on to tell Johnny Cash to sing a song that was something real, something he felt because that’s the kind of song people want to hear. That’s the kind of song that truly saves people. That’s how I feel about music. It takes only one good song to turn a frown upside down, to feel alive, to change a vibration, to be inspired. My father always played music in the house when I was growing up so it’s always been engrained in the fibers of my being. Music has saved me through every struggle and victory in my entire life. No matter what is going on in my life, whether it’s good or bad, I know music is always there for me. Without music my life would be a silent movie.
