Today it really hit me how much music can have an impact on one's life. Whether it be an emotional, physical, mental impact, it's an impact nonetheless and for a song or a piece of music to be able to convey that, is amazing. I've been opened up to a lot of new concepts the past couple of months, and have been introduced to new ways of living life and seeing things. Someone that was really close to me has grown far apart from me this past month, and as hard as it is to cope with, I found something that made me just appreciate the time when things were good, and not feel down because it's not like that now. The logical part of me says it's stupid to feel completely altered by another human being to the point where there's a part of your day where you think about them, consistently never ceasing day to day. I found this person again in a song they once quoted to me, as silly as the song is, but it's like I have a piece of that person again. It's a gift to me, and I'm thankful for it. It's small things like that that can bring joy into life. If something as small as a song lyric can bring a smile to your face, what could an orchestra do? If all people tried to see music this way, how could it change the world if at all?

I made a habit
Of never making promises
That aren't easy to keep
And there you have it
But now I'm making one that is
To keep you here with me

Cause every second that goes by
I feel is just a waste of time
If I'm not with you

If home is where the heart is then my home is where you are
But it's getting oh so hard to spend these days without my heart

So I'm taking you with me
Anywhere that I
Could ever want to be
For the rest of my life
I want you there with me
And if there ever comes a time
When I should have to leave
I hope you know that I
I'm taking you with me

And so I'm trying
To hold it all together and
And make it through the day
When I'm just dying
To drop it all and take your hand
So we can run away

From all the miles and the hours
That seem to endlessly devour
The time that I could be with you

Every second that goes by
Is one more second off my life
And it couldn't be more clear
I'm literally dying without you here
