A simple truth
“Music is the bonding factor between pain and happiness” Stoney LaRue
Stoney once told me those simple words when I lost my dad and had told him how much his music was helping. I’m not sure but I think I heard him say it on stage at a show as well… and I’m not even sure that the quote is exactly word for word. But the truth behind the meaning is probably one of the more freeing things in the known world. Music can make your emotions run wild and free if you let it and sometimes just turning up the radio and getting together with old friends is just the way to take pain and push it into happiness. I’ve been missing my dad alot recently and through good friends and certain songs I’ve been able to move that pain into something else.
I’ve heard millions of stories where music has changed peoples lives and it seems like right now there are several people I know that are hurting. This is just a reminder to find the music that speaks to you and turn up the radio a little louder and let it change you.
I’m glad to see this thing being updated on a regular basis again. :)
