Every word feels like a shooting star.

Today I have been enjoying some good music. I have such a great appreciation for singers - probably because that is one thing that I wished I was. I have been watching all these videos of Kara DioGuardi. As much as she annoys me sometimes on American Idol (haha), she is a truly amazing singer! Just effortless, natural talent.

There is something about acoustic songs too that really gets me. It's like you can truly feel the emotion of the song, which I adore. That is why I love music so much. Great songs can express all your emotions better than just saying the words. For me, music is like my medicine. If I'm sad, it allows me to grieve or it can make me feel better. A song can lift my mood, release my anger, or put me into total relaxation... all in a matter of minutes. How powerful is that! Gosh, I wish I had that talent. I would use it all the time. :)

Here is a video of Kara singing a song called "Terrified" (fyi: song doesn't start till about 2 minutes in).
