Music Soothes The Soul

The sound of good music is hard to beat.  I heard a song that brought back great memories when I was a kid. 

"I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe." (The Lettermen)

My dad had many albums by the Lettermen.  They were a familiar sound in our home.
Each of us have memories that are directly connected with songs.  I love to think of an especially meaningful experience that has a song associated with it. 

I love music!  Good music brings my heart a great deal of comfort.
