Music, music, music. Ever since I was a little girl I have surrounded myself with music. When I was at the primary school, I started to listen to the radio and also to collect music albums. The songs that I liked the most were in English and because of that I felt motivated to learn the language in order to understand what my favourite artists were singing.Consequently, my interest in the English language increased and became another passion alongside music. My ability to fall in love with a song, almost immediately, and listen to it over and over again was a huge help in the learning process.
I was only 12 years old when I was forced to face a serious problem in my life. It was at that time that I discovered the power of music. Sure we can have fun and dance whenever we listen to a song. But that’s not it. Music has the power to heal the pain we’re feeling, the power to let us express ourselves, the power to unite people and the power to make us both travel through memories and time.
Maybe that’s why I always have a couple of songs for each person or moment in my life. It’s a way of photographing a personality, a mood, an environment or even an experience. My friends are always making fun of this, because every song has a special meaning for me and I can have thousands of explanations for it. They also laugh every time I interrupt a conversation just because a song starts playing and I can’t help but sing along with it.
The happiest day of my life was when I first saw a live performance by U2. I was so thrilled about the show. I hope they’ll come back soon.

I really want to be there in the concert. I love The Cure.
I love live concerts. The adrenaline and the music itself.. It's amazing!
I went last year to Super Bock Super Rock, specially because of Placebo. And I went to one of the many concerts of Xutos e Pontapés.
;)
I agree with you! And I'd add this: when you listen too many times to a music with someone and if the relationship between you and that person breaks, you'll hardly figure to listen to it again. That has happened to me, unfortunately, still I'm trying to get along with it.^^ My cure are books, though I adore music and to dance, it makes us move and it may be able to change our mood totally, just like you said with your words. I really like to read you, fairymother! keep up the brilliant work! Kissie**************** Lots of sun to you!
I know what you mean Zöe :P
Indeed, we "hardly figure to listen to it again" and books do change our mood...but I think books are more personal than music because we cannot share our reading the same way we share a music, u see?
but that healing power that I mentioned about music, just as you said, books have it too :)
