I took my greatest journey on Music Street last night. Seeing Sam Smith in concert was everything I wanted it to be. I danced, cheered, clapped and sang my heart out the whole night. My seat did not get to know me. I have a memory to last a lifetime. The audience was so full of life. I experienced a new kind of excitement. The moment Sam Smith walked on the stage I got goosebumps and my eyes filled with tears, tears of pure joy. I stuck around cheering for an encore even with my husband begging to leave before the mad rush. When Sam Smith came back on stage singing my all time favorite song “Stay with Me” I felt complete. After the concert we ran to our car as if we were being chased and beat the massive crowd. It wasn’t until I sat down for the drive home that I was able to take a deep breath and reflect on what an amazing night it was. A night I can’t wait to experience again!
I believe music can get you through many hard times in life and create some of the happiest memories. You just have to find the right music. The kind that fuels your soul and fills you with life. For me, it is Sam Smith. All I could think of when I first heard his voice and his music a little over 4 years ago was how beautiful it was. Just 3 weeks away from having my first baby, sitting around a campfire on the 4th of July in my backyard with some good friends it drowned out the fact that I was super pregnant, uncomfortable and would have done anything to enjoy a nice cold beer with everyone. I didn’t care. I was so amazed with the discovery of what I never knew would be the most impactful music of my life. From that day forward Sam Smith was played in our home almost non-stop. It got me through a 70 hour labor, when one of the nurses commented on my music selection I demanded it wasn’t changed! It was there with me when I learned how to be a mom for the first time. Everyone who came to visit us and meet our son commented on how chill our house was. You do know what was playing don’t you? Sam Smith of course. His music has remained a staple in our home ever since. I have so many wonderful memories connected to his songs.
Go out, find yourself on music street, close your eyes and imagine yourself somewhere on a scenic road along the ocean, drop-top down, sun shining on your face with nothing but the beautiful blue ocean surrounding you and your favorite song filling the breeze blowing on your face. Let music bring happiness into your life.
