Have you ever thought about the power of music and the influential role it has had in the world? It seems that ever since the beginning of time, human beings have been expressing themselves, in one way or another, with musical instruments, dance and song. This medium has furthermore been one of the primary ways for a lot of cultures to preserve their history for the next generation.
It is easy to recognize that feelings are an important part of the whole picture. people make music when they are happy, angry, sad, hungry, in love, at war, at peace, searching… just about every emotion or experience could create a creative spark! And the power of music could have either a positive or negative influence in our lives. It could motivate us to take action, whether it be for nice or bad.
In 2005, my husband, James, and I had the occasion to have two of our songs used in a film documentary about Hurricane Katrina. This is just one small example of how the power of music can be used as a force for nice. As songwriters, we consider this unique experience to be one of the highlights we’ve shared together as a married couple.
Lately I’ve been thinking about other ways to use the power of music for nice. Recently I met with a man who had just returned from Myanmar (Burma). As some of you could know, the people in this area have been suffering extreme loss and hardship since the cyclone hit final could and there is a excellent need for food, clothing and medical supplies. Some predictions have indicated that there could be as a lot of as 60,000-80,000 orphans as a result of the storm.
James and I are currently making travel arrangements to visit Myranmar next January. Until then, I am hoping that the power of this music article will draw some attention to the situation.
