Let me begin this way: I have a love affair with music. It is one of my greatest escapes, whether I'm running from the world or just running from myself, I can count on music to be there for me. It breaths life into my soul. I can soar over the clouds of despair, skim the waters of pain and hurt, and ponder the image in the looking glass. I can bathe in the melodies and harmonies as I am whisked along the journey each song presents.
Often, as I listen to the radio or my iPod, I can feel my heart searching for the song that would best expresses what I'm feeling. Music says what my heart would if it had a voice. I look and live for those little moments where my heart bursts open and shouts along with the music. My heart has different ways of telling me what its feeling. Sometimes its tears and other times puffs itself up and nods in agreement.
Today, I have been completely obsessed with Mika's Grace Kelly. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have listened to this song upwards of fifteen times in the last three hours. This doesn't seem like a lot, but I'm at work, so I cant really listen to a song over and over again without annoying those around me. Something about its whimsical melody and silly lyrics has grabbed my hearts attention. It doesn't complete what my heart wants to say, but it is definitely the silly and goofy side of it.
