What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is modern day magic. It is the language of God and all that is or was or will be in the universe. It can make you feel happy when you’re sad and vice versa. It has the power to touch people metaphorically but also literally (and physically give you chills). It can heal the sick and bring memories back to a mind that no longer has the capacity hold memories, in which I have personally seen work miracles in my dying grandfather (who had dimentia & Alzheimer's). It is one of the strongest forces in our dimension. -Douglas Aldridge Jr.
