I don’t remember exactly how long ago I encountered this song.

Time has been moving strangely for a while now.

What I can tell you is that this song and a handful of others are among the few songs with lyrics that I can listen to when I need to sooth my mind or my emotions. Most of the rest of the songs are instrumental only.

But this song speaks to a part of me that is always calm, in spite of the storm that feels like it perpetually brews around me lately. It speaks to me, my emotions, my heart, AND somehow even calming the storm.

Music has a very strong influence over my emotions. While on vacation I experienced some emotional fatigue. Granted it really abated after I took a sun nap outdoors, but initially putting some music in my ear had a nearly immediate impact on lightening my mood.

What helps you get through a tough emotional time?
