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

Music to me is a soothing escape from the everyday world . Universal in nature and I like the many different Genre's . When I write Lyrics and work with my Pals to create a recorded version it's an adventure , a creative journey of effort of imagination for all involved . When the end result results in a good quality musical sound and recording , it's a fulfilling feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction for a creative soul . T feel the song and to know that maybe you have created something that the Universe will appreciate and remember is a good feeling .
