The relationship between music and memory is very powerful. Having a song trigger an emotion or transport you back to memory can change your day. My greatest goal in life is to always make someone’s day better through my music. For great lengths of time or a fraction of a second; if I can evoke one good emotion, then I can rest easy at the end knowing that I have created a good memory for that individual.
We recollect fond memories as we continue to make new ones. We celebrate those that have come before us, along with those who are now with us. No matter who we make music with, one constant remains true for all… you are a fond memory that is created and forever impacting someone else’s life for the greater good.
I cannot say what the next year or even more will hold for myself and others. I am unable to predict the future. Given that music is a tool to express life and relive moments in time, I can say that our impact on each other will always remain. Music names the unnamable while communicating the unknown. The memories we create here and now are the songs that our emotions shall sing until the day we die. Let’s compose a new melody to remember!
