TIM SUNG KOO

A happy heart sings. So does an aching one. When it comes to feelings and songs, there seems to be an apparent association between the two. Maybe because they breed one another much alike the chicken and egg puzzle and which came first. I mean songs are borne by emotions that also bring one to sing. But any which way you put it, that association can not be denied. And that makes music one of the cheapest yet highly effective therapeutic tools (next to writing, of course)In fact, back in the practice, music appreciation and association is incorporated in the treatment sessions, that's what I know. Personally, I have been having a dose of music in every episode of my life, trying or otherwise. And as I approach my first quarter life assessment, I have had a song in every phase.-READ ON-

I am not ashamed to cry. And I have shed rivers to recount. Yes, I sobbed, for how many times I can't recall. The songs "For just a moment(love theme from St. Elmo's fire) by David Foster, "My immortal by Evanescence" & "The First time" from the movie "The Phantom of the Opera" tugged my heart. It captured all I wanted to say whenever I'm alone in pain and in the dark. On almost all occasions of salted pearls dropping, these 3 songs were there to air my feelings, to wail what my heart has been muted with, it's like wishing for an angel to come and wrap me in his arms. Of course, Nina's remake of songs really captures my taste in music. One of my friends even teases me when it comes to MP3s on my mobile phone. Nina's songs would be the 3/4 of my collection. I just love her songs actually and I like her a lot.

During the happy spike of my heart, I have songs of rejoicing too! Well, it has got to be RnB. I couldn't name one. It never fails to brighten my day. Songs by Cris Brown, Lady Gaga, BEP, Usher,Jason Derulo & so with Timbaland never fails to brighten my day. Hearing it readily snaps a grin on my face and it makes my body to dance and groove... I remember when I was in a dance troupe way back in my college years, it was easy for me to create or rehearse steps , gone are the days...lol!

As I jot down all the frustrations, anguish, angst, dreams and wishes on this blog, THE PRAYER by Josh Groban & Angie Stone, bellows to give me faith, it makes my day stride through with sufficient hope of good things to come my way. Several more days and I will be at another crossroad of this journey called LIFE. And in living, I will be singing more songs. But for now, these songs strum the strings of my heart.

Perhaps, this is yet an additional account to prove that music is indeed the language of the soul. And what the soul feels, only music can translate.
