“the music flows” and its lyrics detail different ways that music has personally helped me through my own life experiences. I have constantly turned to music as an escape during stressful stretches of school, as well as during heartbreaking family issues and as a way of coping with death. During these times, music has helped remind me to ride with the crashing waves and go with the flow of life. Whenever listening to music, I can feel its therapeutic effects flowing throughout my whole body, relieving me of pain and built-up stresses. As a music student, making music provides me a creative outlet to express my own emotions in ways I’m unable to any other way. While listening to this piece, I hope others are reminded of the vital importance and power that music holds as an art form.
Lyrics:
verse 1:
i feel its power through a beat
gives me hope, when I’m in too deep
i feel its power through heartfelt lines
it’s fueling fire, on my darkest nights
chorus:
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
verse 2:
it calms me when i’m stressed,
it helps me battle my unrest,
the music makes me feel ok
as I am breathing out,
i let my guards down,
and with the chorus i feel fine
bridge:
woah
the music flows
woah
chorus:
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
the music flows
outro:
i can feel my dreams take flight,
a melody that turns dark to light
even in silence, i’m never alone
through a safe place i’ve made my own
the music is me
through music I’m free
