Music is magical. It turns the tide in movies (or sets the stage), it's used to march to war, it's used in church to inspire and to worship, to console and to reminisce w/friends or remember old times. What a cool opportunity you had with Mikey to uplift him with music. Music moves me all the time, but most recently I was moved by a Christian Music song. Now, I'll preface, that for the most part - I can't stand Christian Worship music (and yes, I'm a Christian!) - I just find it so repetitive and trite. But I heard this song performed live and was really lifted up by it like a Christian song has never moved me (hard for me to explain)....I then went and found an original version (also recorded live) and play it a lot. I laugh out loud b/c I might on a train or plane and I'm sitting there listening to this Christian song.....I'd never have done that in the past.
I've since learned that the guy that wrote it is an incredibly talented artist who writes music, lyrics, books (young adult fiction that my son read years ago), poetry, makes films, etc. He is a Christian artist that I'm so impressed with....and I can't stress it enough that I'm not a fan of most Christian music. "Is He Worthy?" by Andrew Peterson.
I’m catching up on your posts. You’ve done a great job with your writing and painting a truly emotional moment.
I can’t think of an unexpected lift with a song at the moment even though I know there have been many. If I recall a specific story I’ll come back to this comment section.
What a banger story

This is my favorite version (with the choral backup): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMWrAqMWhWs
