Listen… Can you hear it? The music. I can hear it everywhere. In the wind… the air… the light. It’s all around us. All you have to do is open yourself up. All you have to do… is listen. –August Rush (a movie)

You are so right. If music is sung from the heart, it leaves a lasting impression.
Aloha!
