Music has a unique way of changing the dynamics of a room and lifting people’s spirits. I often think about a passage in the Bible (1 Samuel) where it speaks about David playing for King Saul who was experiencing some really troubling times mentally (albeit a result of his disobedience to God). The passage speaks on how he was tormented but those feelings would depart from him when David would play his instrument.
Music didn’t solve all his problems, but for that moment, it brought relief, comfort, and energy. That’s the power of music. It can shift moods, provide encouragement, or simply give a moment of clarity.
When I attend a live show as a listener, I feel that same effect. Whatever worries or stress I carry can be lifted, if only temporarily, allowing me to reconnect with inspiration and calmness. Music may not fix every problem, but it can give us the push we need to keep going.
As a performer, I love the act of sharing music with others, but being an audience member reminds me why music is so powerful. Experiencing it firsthand elevates my awareness of what music can truly do. It can inspire, comfort, energize, and even heal. It’s no wonder people love it so much; it touches parts of us that words alone cannot reach.Whether it’s a moment to relax, a source of encouragement, or simply a shared experience, music has the ability to move us in profound ways and that’s why I’m grateful to be a part of it and do what I do.
