Muzik

I have found myself more and more attracted to certain types of music, and certain artists lately. Michael Franti is an amazing musician, and probably the biggest musical influence in my life right now. He has several songs with Spearhead that I love, Say Hey being the most commonly known, but songs like Soulshine, Hey World (Don't Give Up), and several others have become addictive to me. He is incredible, and I love the message he sends. India Arie has always been an inspiration to me, her soul is truly in her music. 'Talk To Her' and 'Good Man' are almost over powering in their strength and beauty. Black Eyed Peas, while fairly mainstream, are sending a great message, and I have to give them more than a passing nod for doing so. Big And Rich is a country group, but I am more and more impressed with their efforts and the messages they send with their music.
Music is my life line, if not so much my skill.
It is no wonder one of my best friends as well as my fiance are musicians. My stepdaughter, too, is just incredibly talented musically. I love music, I love to dance, and it's incredible to me how powerful music really is. Music has been around since the earliest humans. We are drawn to it, it is part of us, as much as our heartbeats. It is the life force within us. It is incredible and powerful, and it makes me so proud to see that there are people finally using it for the bettering of our society.
