The Power of Music and Sadness

So I thought about erasing that last post but in reality that is what I was feeling at the time so I am going to leave it - just wanted to add something:

I just spent two hours in a music studio in the basement of the BAC. There is no phone signal, no internet, blank walls and just a piano and a piano bench. Let me say that there is nothing more therapeutic than that. I just sat down thinking i would just sing to my ipod but I did bring a couple of piece of sheet music to attempt to play. Well two hours later I have learned a new song on the pian0 - the WHOLE thing! That is huge for me cause learning new songs usually takes one to two weeks. I learned White Houses by Vanessa Carlton - an amazing musician! Just sitting down there and listening to her through my ipod and then hearing her music come through my fingers on the keyboard was amazing!

I went there feeling stressed and almost on the verge of tears and left literally smiling. That doesn't mean I'm magically cured of all my problems but I seriously feel like I can breath again! I'm still sad but the music running through my head is full of beauty and inspiration. I really need to use the music rooms more often in hopes of avoiding future break downs and just learning some fantastic music.

That is all for now, all the love (and music),
