Music is Healing
When you’re in a certain mood.. isn’t there a song that just speaks to you? I bet even if you cannot name it in the moment, there are songs that just align with how you feel in the moment. Just like feelings, some songs can make you feel stuck and more depressed or mad, but other songs allow you to get the emotion out and change the feeling at the end of the song. Some would call those songs empowering, uplifting, and healing.
Something I have wanted to do for a long time is create a diverse playlist with songs that people find healing. Maybe in some ways identifying the struggle, but also giving hope. I don’t want those songs to just come from me though, I want them to come from the community, to build a playlist of songs that someone could go to, to get out feelings and receive a sense of hope or healing. No music can replace therapy, but I believe music is a huge part of who we are as a society and that feeling heard, validated, and seen in a song can sometimes be very powerful in the healing process.
I have started the playlist below:
