Music can change the world. Think about that for a moment. Music can change the world. It was the saying printed on a nice framed artwork that my wife got me for Christmas. It was a profound statement to me when I read it even though I knew it to be a fact for many, many years. There was just something about reading it and then letting it sink in. It was as if some secret of the universe had been revealed to me.
If you're like me, there are certain songs that define certain moments in your life. The soundtrack to your life. Hearing any one of these 'soundtrack' songs can instantly transport you back to a specific moment in time and you're able to feel what you felt and see what you saw and relive the moment. It's a magical thing. So, while we can go around in circles arguing about whether a particular song actually changed the world, you can't tell me that the songs in my world haven't made a profound difference in my life.
Sometime this year I will release my sophmore effort CD. I think the songs on this CD are very well-written, well crafted songs. So I'm hoping that my music will change the world -at least my immediate world- in 2009.
Here's to a 2009 filled with love, hope, and peace... and world-changing music.
