Music, it has the ability to help us through the toughest times in our lives. Sometimes just taking a moment to sit and listen to that one song (or songs) can make everything better.
There are certain songs that I like to listen to when I'm feeling down that help me to feel better. I look for songs where the lyrics speak to me and the situation that I'm going through.
In my Media Production TV class, we were given the assignment to shoot a montage set to music. I had no idea for the longest time what I was going to or what song I was going to use. I thought this was going to take me forever and that I was never going to get it done.
Then one night, when I wasn't in the happiest of moods, I put on Hedley's cd Storms. Their song Heaven's Gonna Wait came on and the lyrics told this beautiful, yet sad story. This vision came to me as the story played out.
I had my idea for my montage.
The actual filming was a little difficult, having never done anything like this before. The over all experience was a lot of fun.
Music is a beautiful, creative medium that transcends all generations. Different genres speak to different people and builds a connections. So Take A Moment to find that song that speaks to you and tells you its story and let it come to life. As long as there is music, there is life.
