Music bestows happiness

THERE IS a difference between a house and a home. A house is just a structure, but home includes the people who live there as a family and look after each other. It is also decorated according to the choice of the members of the family. Once you go out somewhere you are keen to return to your place of dwelling and feel greatly satisfied. It is also maintained off and on to provide big comfort to everyone. In fact, home is where the heart is. A house is just a place to live in, but a home is where you can relax and your memories are linked with it, you have a family life. In fact, your soul also stays there with you. It is a place where you like to say and nurture it well.

Apart from many other essential things, a good home must have music systems. It is said that all music is beautiful; it is also the food of love; if there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music; music expresses that which can’t be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. It is not always enough to listen to music: we also love to talk about it, think about it and even dream about it. And these quotes are sure to fuel any conversation.

Music is well said to be the speech of angels. Nothing is better than music…. It has done more for us than we have the right to hope for. Light quirks of music, broken and uneven, make the soul dance upon a jig of heaven. Music is a language by whose means messages are elaborated, that such messages can be understood by many but sent out only by few and that it alone among all the languages unites the contradictory character of being at once intelligible and untranslatable – these facts make the creator of music a being like the gods.

Besides, music therapy helps reduce anxiety and stress. Hence it has become essential for all age groups to avail the benefits of this therapy for peace and mind and improving concentration. It is pertinent to mention that music therapy is in vogue in the Western countries and it is even practiced in India. Music records (played on the gramophones), songs (and their in-depth lyrics), and tunes, essentially of yesteryears are much in demand as they bring down the stress level and also increases the concentration power of the listeners, and they go down the memory lane, and remember their earlier times.

We must remember the famous words of June Masters Bacher: “Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever.”
Music is the art of thinking with sounds.
