What Music Means To Me

While thinking about what should I write, I heard a familiar song that made me smile – then I knew my topic will be MUSIC.

Who’s not listening to music during the day? In the morning,on our way to work, to school, in every moment…
For me, music is a life saver.

When I’m happy I can listen to songs and dance with joy, and when I’m sad or nervous i can turn up the music and it just comforts me. With a good song I can scream, whisper, laugh or cry and express all my emotions.

Since I was a little girl, I adored music and sang in any opportunity. In school, singing in ceremonies allowed me to reveal my creative side in front of my friends.

I felt powerful on stage, I still remember the thrill and excitement.

Everyone has that song, that is close to their hearts.

I want to share a special song with you – “Kchi Lach” of Rita.

The song describes the special relationship between a mother and her daughter. Rita, a famous Israeli singer, sings to her daughter Meshi, which is also a singer and a famous actor. She sings on how proud she is in her daughter’s accomplishments, the women she became and thankful for being her mother.
Meshi, her daughter, sings the second part the song and thank her mother for encouraging her in every step, guiding her through life’s challenges and for the warmth love she always gave her. She is proud to be her daughter.

The moment I heard this song, it felt it’s written on my relationship with my mother. I first heard it five years ago, during the flight to my big trip after the army. I listened carefully to each word, tears filled my eyes and all I wanted is to hug my mother and thank her for everything she did for me. I was about to start my big adventure abroad and had mixed feelings of excitement and fear of what is about to come, but in that moment all I could think about was my mother.
The moment I landed I called my parents to assure I arrived safely and also to share this song with my mother in excitement.
Since, it’s one of my favourite songs that symbols our strong connection, I even dedicated it to her on her 60’s anniversary.

Music gives me strength and shifts my mood and energy. As I said, it’s definitely my saver.

Think about a song that makes you feel nostalgic.

What it means to you? Which emotion raises?

Without noticing, music is our life’s soundtrack.

Music can create emotions that might be translated to real actions.

Make your music count.
