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

Music to me is a divine language I was blessed to understand.. I communicate in ways through music that I cannot verbally or any other way. It’s not a hindrance, but rather a therapeutic release of the dark sinister that resides and torments us all. It gives me peace, joy, and because so many people are helped from it, it brings me fulfillment.
