The TV was on and Jack sat down after dinner and suddenly the news was on. It was terrible, horrible news, and I found myself shaking. A man was being mugged and beaten in the street. It brought my own mugging, right back to my heart and soul.
So I sat down at my computer, put my headphones on, and turned on the music of my youth!
It is still too soon to go to bed, so writing this and listening to Freddie Mercury & Queen, or The Alan Parsons Project or Pilot, helped to calm me.
It’s funny really. When I was a teenager and life was complicated and I wanted to check out, I would go up to my room and do this. Only back then it was with my record player.
Ah yes. The healing powers of musical tunes. How lucky we are to have them to use to escape.
There must be reminders like this every so often and it must be awful to experience.
Yes, music heals. It’s why I have an iTunes account and an Amazon unlimitedmusic account.
News can devastating at times. And like to be current on what going on…no one needs news 24-7
