Ponderous Thought Prompt
This month, share some of your comfort music, when and how it comforts you.
Hey everyone,
Welcome to the 32nd edition of The Saturday Symphony. This edition is a bit of a musical journey. Hope you enjoy.
Comfort music embraces our trauma.
We commune with it.
It makes us feel less alone.
This September symphony, may we hum, sing, sway and dance to our comfort music.
🎶🎵🎶
When I’m tired, music rejuvenates my body
When I’m sad music cheers my mood
When I’m lonely, music give me company
When I’m happy music celebrates with me
I need music when I go for a walk in the nature
And I need music playing softly when I’m writing
In all moods and in all phases of my day
Music plays a vital role to compliment it beautifully
🎶🎵🎶
Some of my all time favorites;
Yanni- Nostalgia
Barbra Streisand- Woman in love
Pharrell Williams- Happy
Imagine Dragons- Thunder
🎶🎵🎶

Listening to music makes me happy for sure. I’ve recently discovered that writing music is therapeutic too. There is something to feeling notes vibrate through my body.

Yeah, I didn’t know how to approach writing music until this summer. It’s daunting to figure out how to start. I found it so transformative as a form of journaling I started blogging about my experiences.

Nice poem. I feel the same way about music, except when I’m writing, I need complete silence. The songs you chose are nice, especially thunder and happy.

It’s very interesting how the music works for you on nature walks and writing. I wish it could for me too.

Thanks Jude. I’ve always enjoyed music while walking and writing. Perhaps because I’m alone at these times and music mitigates that feeling.
