Music Soothes the Savage Breast

Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,

To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.

I’ve read, that things inanimate have mov’d,

And, as with living Souls, have been inform’d,

By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.

What then am I? Am I more senseless grown

Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!

‘Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.

Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night

The silent Tomb receiv’d the good Old King;

He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg’d

Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.

Why am not I at Peace?

The Mourning Bride, a poem by William Congreve, 1697:

My life is now listening to music all day. When i feel down and not able to cope my music calms me. This is one of my favorite pieces.

Then tomorrow i will be listening to King Crimson.

Another day Crosby Stills Nash

I’ve only just begun, The Carpenters

My list is endless. When you feel down and depressed listen to music it really is calming and can make everything seem so much better. Just the sound of the ocean is soothing. You never have to be alone when you can have music in your life.

I am sat on the shore listening to the ocean.
