Music.... are you a remedy??

By definition Remedy means: That which relieves or cures

So anything that gives relief would be counted to be as a remedy….

I was wondering…. By this definition, shouldn’t Music be called as a remedy as well??

Hardly would you find an individual who would not be interested in listening to music…. Be it of any genre… some people like Bollywood songs… some prefer classics… some English… some only chords….

So somewhere music is an intrinsic factor for everyone’s life… something like an invisible pal….

But why is it so??

Music is usually a part of every facet of our lives…  during celebrations… or when we are upset… when we are alone… or even when we are in a crowd…

It walks with us all the time…

When we are happy we like to hear happy songs… it adds to our joy… makes us feel even better… dancing tones…

When we are upset.. we like music…. Its words sooths us… takes us to another world… connects with us at a strange level…. Similar to our mood… it feels like a particular song has been written just for us… there is something for every mood.. for every reason for that mood… and somehow… when you are sad.. it seems you end up with a song that exactly defines the reason for your sadness… It becomes your companion… a companion that doesn’t need a reason to be there… who could stay with you forever, without asking for anything in return… (a little over the top description.. isn’t it?)

With music.. u can say, there is something for everything… Something when there is a marriage, something for parties, something for birth, something for birthdays… something for general entertainment… then again, something for death, something for when you are upset.. something when you are alone… something when you want to be alone….something when u desire company… you name it and there would me something for you… and surely that something would be more than one in number… infact you could get a playlist for any situation..

Not only that.. music can also act as a medicine for memory recollection…. There must be songs… a number of them that would be inscribed in your brain as bookmarks… for a memory.. for an occasion.. for an individual… you hear that song… and the memory, the exact time and scene can be replayed in front of your eyes…

So… if music can

Help you enjoy when you are happy…

Help you ease your pain when you are sad…

Help you remember someone when you miss them…

Help you rejoice when you are with friends…

Help you with a company when you are alone…

Help you divert your attention when you are upset…

Not only that… but also…

Help you to concentrate…

And help you find sleep… 

Then Music… aren’t you as good as a remedy???
