The Power of Singing

June 27, 2013 By Karen Main 4 Comments

Cervantes Quote

I love to sing

I love listening to music

I am not a musician, no instrument playing at all.

I have no vocal training.

I absolutely love to sing.

My greatest performances have been at a late night karaoke bar and on my coffee table.

My typical audience comprises of  2 children in the backseat of the car.

I don’t mind.

I don’t need an audience, I am less inhibited without one.

You see I am not singing to become an accomplished singer.

I have no delusions of The Voice or Xfactor, (well maybe just a tiny, wee little bit.)

I sing for enjoyment

Singing cures a bad mood

Singing kills the crankies

It brightens my day

When I put on a favourite playlist or I hear any song I know, and love, I surrender.

The singing is spontaneous, an unconscious reaction to a sound, a beat, a feeling.

This can be interesting when I turn the aisle in the supermarket, during a Bee Gees rendition of course , to discover a sea of faces smiling at me.

Music is the beat of a drum that keeps time with our emotions – Shannon L Adler

I sing because of how I feel, alive and free.  My cells bursting with joy.

I even sing without music, you know that catchy tune that gets stuck in your head.

As I drove along in the car today, belting out a well loved tune, I wondered how music affects others.

Tell me………….

What happens when the music overtakes you?

When the beat wants to pass outside your body?

Are your feet tapping?

Fingers drumming?

Do you bring out the air guitar or even better the air saxophone? (I must give this a try).

Do you dance around your kitchen?

Does your hair brush or mop become a  microphone?

Wow giving away all my tricks now!

What happens when you are struck by that overwhelming desire to express yourself to the music?

When you cannot resist the tune?

    I’m a terrible singer and a terrible dancer but I do both with great enthusiasm. Crank those tunes up and just have fun!!! I love Bob Marley! I’m guessing, though, that it wasn’t just music that helped him to feel no pain! 😉

      Mo and isn’t that the best, its the freedom of going at it with enthusiasm and letting the music move us.

    Totally agree. I plug my ipod in each morning while I get ready for the day. Hair, makeup. Makes the chore of blow-drying so much easier. And while I clean the house. I have also been known to get a little dance going while I clean the mirrors and windows. Love music. Would be lost without it. It does make you feel good, happy and free.
