Just Listen

But being nice wasn’t as easy as it seemed, especially when the rest of the world could be so mean.

“music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.”

a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.

There has to be a middle. Without it, nothing can ever truly be whole. Because it is not just the space between, but also what holds everything together.
