Vissi d'Arte : Healing Power of Music

"M e l a n c h o l y"

 a distasteful, undesirable, unwelcome state of mind

But what if one morning, Melancholy just comes knocking on your door,

"Hey, let's go out and play!", said Melancholy, 
"You know, your favorite games...how about we play hide and seek? 
You hide yourself in your perfect sweet smiles or a straight face 
and I'll catch you from your heartbreaking past.

what do you say?"

Well, sometimes the invitation is too tempting to say no.
But what will you do if Melancholy pushes you to the ground and you get hurt?
who will you turn too?

Will you run to your mom and cry?
No.
You are a grown-up now.



My advice?
 Don't call an ambulance or search the house for first aid kit.
You don't need them for the wound that Melancholy causes.

Just grab the nearest musical instrument
and smash that unpleasant feeling with it!

Let's say you have a guitar,
STRUM IT HARD!

Or there're drumsticks on the table,
GRAB'EM UP AND HIT SOMETHING!
a jar, a can, glasses, whatever!

MAKE MUSIC AND BURST OUT SINGING!

Trust me, music heals :)


I've heard one saying 
"When I'm sad, I sing. Because then I realize my voice is worse than my problems."

Funny, humble, but wise.  

HAHAHAHAHA

Fill your hearts with music, my dear readers. 
It's good for your soul.

Love, Eva S.

Vissi d'amore # 7 : Winter's playlist

This winter is all about good attitudes toward life, creativity, inspirations, also about finding who I really am so that I can make my perfect plan for the future and getting through tough times with my brightside ideas!


This "Vissi d'amore" is about Music as it's another thing that I can't live without and my Ipod Touch has become the love of my life!


And when I combine these two things together, music and my favourite season of the year, I come up with my winter playlist! And here are the songs that I will sing to the world in the cold breeze! And of course, I've put many songs that I like but are not related to the concept of the season!
