Music is so powerful! There is nothing as perfect as a love song. I have playlists of love songs to get me through hard days too. turns out love (songs) are really all you need.

Gosh I have missed some of your posts! I don’t know why I am not getting notified, some I do and some I don’t. But actually I got this at the right time and I’m so glad I read it today. What a wonderful piece, I love how music can really change everything in just a few minutes. Mars has been very anti-music for a few years but lately is happy for us to have low level back ground music on and it has made such a positive difference to everyone’s demeanour, we are all a bit lighter and more relaxed. Ps I love that song from twilight too even though it’s not remotely like the majority of music I enjoy but it just pulses through the whole body.

Oh gosh, your comment reminded me that there was a period of time when my kiddo always turned the music off, and our house was so so quiet for a little while. I’m glad he came back to liking music (now the music in the car is up way too loud all the time, haha) so many songs definitely lift our moods around here. 💙

This was great Robin.

I read it at just the right time, as this line — “ Ah, the absurdity of snapping at someone to use your <bleeping> coping skills.” — resonated with an experience I’d had only an hour earlier.

Thank heavens for music! :)
