THE POWER OF MUSIC by Emily Sorano
When I read what Emily Sorano wrote about music in her life, I was astounded at her talent as a writer. I already knew of her vocal talents, but this was a revelation! Enjoy!
"Music is life Every note means something. Every word, every line; they all tell this one huge connected story. I think it is really amazing how we can know about peoples' lives through their music.
Music has always been a big part of my life. If you've see me without my headphone in or not spontaneously singing, well, that is probably the first and last you'd ever see that. I don't play any instruments, but I love to sing. When I sing I feel like I'm on a pedestal where only me, the song, and my voice exist. And dozens of other people watching you, but mostly just those three elements.
When I'm up there, I feel untouchable. Music plays a huge part in other's lives as well. Peole express their passion through their usic. Music is the universal language. Some people say it is love, but trust me- it is MUSIC! Every culture has their own style, their own genre. Exploring every single kind of music would take a while, but I'm young. I've got time."

Favorite Five
Do you have a favorite song???
Imagine that you are going to visit a secluded island......
That's right......feel the ocean breeze on your skin, smell the fresh salt air, relish the coolness of the lapping waves on your toes.....
Now, suppose you could take only five songs with you to this deserted island! Which five songs would they be? How would you ever choose just five?? Let's think about this together......
For starters, here are five songs I would include on my island adventure:
*Nature Boy
*Brahm's Requiem
*Freebird
*Go Rest High On That Mountain
*See You Later, Alligator
But, that is just this week's fav five......it really is hard to choose!
Let me hear from YOU! Leave a comment with YOUR five fav songs!!
