I once heard it said that music is the expression of the soul, I totally agree with that definition, because it is this art form capable of connecting all the senses, it is able to transport you to a moment, a place, a memory or simply stop time to enjoy its melody fully for a few moments.
Music is able to heal your wounds and open others, it is able to make you smile or make you shed a tear. It all depends on the perspective with which you listen to it, feel it or produce it.
All my life I have enjoyed music, I can't conceive a world without it, I listen to music all the time, even to study, since my childhood it has been like that, my mom always told me: How can you study with music, so you can't concentrate. When in fact it is the opposite.
As you can see, it is a topic that I like very much and I am happy to participate in the commitment for the weekend, telling you about one of my favorite songs, but first I must say that I do not have a particular favorite genre, I can practically listen to everything and enjoy it, some more than others, but I like to talk about songs that tell stories in their lyrics, have a meaning, a reason, a positive message, a balance.
This song has been anchored in my memory for some time, it belongs to the album: Ahora tengo más, by Tercer Cielo. I like this song in particular, mainly because of its lyrics and in those adverse moments of life or when I feel I need a push to move forward, I like to hum it and remember its lyrics, becoming a tool for self-motivation and personal growth.
I met her by chance, mainly I was struck by its name "Today I let you hate", anyone can think that incites hatred, the worst feeling that exists, but sometimes hate is valid, more than hate I would say reject, reject everything that slows us down, stops us, stagnates us and does not allow us to move forward, this song invites us to hate all that, to get up and fight for our goals as it says in its chorus:
Sometimes we get carried away by the comments of third parties that discourage us and make us believe that we are not capable, the song invites us to reject those words, not to internalize them, not to take anything personally that does not make us evolve, simply to ignore that. It is great advice, no!
Another verse that I love is:
That so common mistake of us humans, that we insist on wasting time, as if it were infinite or we could recover it, this song leaves a very clear message about that, it tells us: Hey take advantage of the time, stop procrastinating and postpone for tomorrow, for later because the future is uncertain, it tells us; Organize your life and enjoy it.
The beautiful lyrics of this song invite us to empower ourselves to believe in ourselves and in our capabilities, to understand that yes, everything is possible, if we do things with determination, perseverance and passion. That is why it is one of my favorites.
I don't know if there is an English version, here you can listen to it if you wish.
