Carly says: "In grief we can resonate with music because it communicates the deep emotions we are feeling. Sometimes there are no words that accurately describe what we are experiencing and that is why I think I find myself so often lost in sounds and melodies. Share some music that enriches your life or reminds you of your children. Is there a story behind that piece of music for you?"
Most of the time, music hits me without me really knowing why. I'll be on a run and suddenly a song brings me to tears. Sometimes good tears, sometimes sad. Or it'll be the melody and will have absolutely nothing to do with the words. I don't know why that happens. Somehow it just GETS me. The sounds of the song pulls at the hole in my heart, trying so desperately to make it whole again. And then there are those days where I feel like I *need* connection. There's an album called BLINK by a band called Plumb. I'm not sure how I ever found them or their music (I think maybe Pandora) but the songs are soothing and peaceful, and have a spiritual kind of nature to them. Not religious necessarily (although some are). The songs are special for some reason and, even though most of them seem to be referring to the singer's living children, they make me think about my angel baby.
(Below: how I prefer to listen to this special music. Either that, or while laying in my bed nice and cozy... No distractions.)
