Beat.Tempo.Riddim.Slow.Transcendental. Oasis.Drift. Music can take us places.It can swirl us, make us feel those forgotten emotions, tear up our sutures, kill us, make us cry and yes, even give us life. Music has so much power, it's like a good ol memory. Playing with us, giving us visuals, holding us up when we're down, bringing peace within, making time move fast or still. Just the way we want it. It's like our emotions choose the song we want to hear. We elevate something really low to its heightened experience, by just listening to something depressing and it all really depends on the situation. If you're troubled in love, you'd listen to songs like, Nothing Better - Postal service, Kelly Clarkson - Because of you, Hinder - Lips of an angel, Never Ever - All Saints, Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby, KT Tunstall - Other side of the world, Air Supply - I'm all of out of love, REM - Everybody Hurts, Soul Asylum - Runaway Train
You know how it goes.
But if you want to feel elevated, its best that u listen to a song that takes you absolutely to a wonderful paradise, a place where you go to refresh just like the old Rishi Muni who would diligently attain a meditative repose in the far away mountains, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Absolute serenity. Where you feel at your best, all weak muscles rejuvenate with an air of purpose. With every moment you feel the will to do a lil bit more. A will to feel loved again.
These are a few of my uplifters :
1. Daniel Powter - You had a bad day
