I must say that this is the best blog post I will read today because I can relate a 100% with music. I don't just listen to songs recorded by other singers, I write songs as well and before writing my songs, I usually hear the melody and lyrics playing gently in my head, all I do is, I will just listen for the moment and record this song demo into my tape recorder and afterwards head straight to the studio to finally record it or sell it to singers. Whenever I am in a sober mood, I just write songs or sing an already recorded song and boom! I am up on my feet again. Without music, life would be a mistake. When music hits you, you feel no pain. So start the music.
