Music: my inspirational wonder

Sometimes we get stuck in the cages of apathy. The desire to do that which excites us suddenly vanishes.

Sometimes, we even lose the desire to take another breath, we see life for what it truly is and not the mirage we've been blindfolded with... Well, should I just put it in a simpler term: we find out that we're all living for death. I mean, in the end it's going to be nothing but bones and sand, right? So why live in the uncertainty of life?

These were the questions that came to my mind as of recent. I lost the motivation to pick up my books, engage in conversations, and do the things I would do on a normal day because I felt like living is meaningless, it just revolves around a constant cycle — Live, eat, sleep, cry, laugh then Death! — is that it? That's all? But then, I realized that since life is fleeting, why not do the little we can and leave the rest for the heavens to answer!

This sudden rush of optimism which I felt didn't spring up from the air! It was brought into life by a song which I came across "wildfire" by Elijah woods.

The song ate into the deepest chambers of my soul and sparked an inner desire in me: the desire to live, the desire to keep pushing; the desire to love amidst hate, the desire to live amidst death.

In the song, Elijah tells us of how perfect a certain girl's love was that it was enough to spread life to the one who encountered it, and break the hardest of minds just like a wildfire. The interpretation I had of this song at that moment was all I needed to keep me on my feet. It reminded me of the little things that made life beautiful — love! And yes, this was my saving grace.

Sometimes, a little bit music is all it takes to fight our greatest battles, just music!

I heard the song in a public bus while coming back from the hospital after attending to patients who seemed to add a whole lot stress to my already struggling soul.

Well, I guess that's the typical life of a medical student... But come on, how can you solve the world's problems when you can't even solve your inner battles? I asked this question within myself and guess what? all we might need to do is embrace music, let it take over, let it lighten our burden by driving away the temporary strain and stress of life with its powerful rhythm and lyrics, then boom! That might be all it takes to get that little bit of inspiration in life.

Sometimes books aren't enough, sometimes religion might fail, sometimes we aren't even enough for ourselves. This is where music comes in, it fights our unknown battles and temporarily eases our mind off the painful reality that haunts us every single day. Every event on earth isn't complete without a little bit of music. Even nature itself sings: the chirping melody of birds, and the beautiful rhythm created in a thundering storm.

Its inexplicable mode of therapy hasn't been fully understood, perhaps it's something beyond scientific explanation...

perhaps... it's something supernatural.
