Soundtrack of Your Life

"Music is all around us...all you have to do is listen."

-August Rush

I believe that life has a soundtrack; but that it does not just consist of perfectly written lyrics combined with crisp melodies.

It's messy. Just like life.

It's the sounds all around us, every day. It's the honk of a car horn, or the cry of a baby. It's the song of a bird, or the scrape of snow shovel against pavement.

There are harsh discords and cacophonies. Sometimes your voice cracks, and sometimes you go flat. We endure the thousand terrible songs we write before that song finally comes out.

But then there are beautiful, clear moments of unison or lovely harmonies.
That is what we live for. For the moments where it all comes together.

Well, that is one way of looking at it.

But I think that sometimes...if you look deep enough, you can see the beauty behind the chaos.

And that can be more powerful than any hit song.
