Music plays such an important part in our lives that it would be unimaginable to live without it. When we hear a particular song, it usually brings up some special moment from our past. Music is so powerful that it can heal and touch your soul and emotions. Music can inspire change for a whole generation. In fact, Music is one of the few art form that does not require any special skill, intellect or the understanding of the inner workings of the masterpiece in order for you to appreciate it. The beauty of music is you don't need a high brow art enthusiast over intellectualizing it to death just to influence or dictate who, what and how you should listen to music. There are no wrongs or rights, we all experience and interpret music differently and that's the magic of this alluring work of art. Music can be felt directly in your heart. It can also tapped into your emotional senses evoking those warm and fuzzy feelings all over your body. Even a newborn loves music despite their lack of understanding the conceptual world that we live and play in. For the baby, there is no past or future, just the precious present momment is all that matters. With that said, we wanted to share a few tracks that we personally love and enjoy (not in any particular order). These songs would also work beautifully for a newlywed's first dance...a good chance you might just get goose bumps from listening to them or shed a few happy tears of joy. Cheers!
