Music is such a powerful instrument. It can invoke many different feelings inside us. Make us feel happy, sad, or put us into deep thought. It can inspire us and even transport us back in time by bringing up a memory. Music can get your heart beating fast and pumping adrenaline. It can put you in a very relaxed, calm state of mind. So sit back, relax, and listen to The Transforming Power Of Music Episode – 7.

The Power Of Music
I was working out this morning and I always listen to music while I exercise. I have a playlist in my phone of several upbeat songs that keep my adrenaline flowing throughout my workout. Today as I started my workout, the first song that came on was, It’s My Life by Bon Jovi. I got this overwhelming joyous feeling in my heart because the words of the song matched perfectly with my life. My life changed dramatically yesterday in a very good way and took all the success I’ve had in the past to a whole different level. I’ve heard the song probably a thousand times before but today I really listened to the words.
Right Now
The next random song that came on from my playlist was Right Now by Van Halen. I don’t think there are two songs in my playlist that would have had a better impact on me. It just confirmed that all these great things are happening to me right now. I need to make the most of every day.
Whenever I hear this song it takes me back to my days in the jungle. I used to carry a Sony Walkman cassette player and earphones as part of my equipment. We had open doors on the helicopters and I would always sit next to the door gunner. I would start playing this song right before the helicopter lifted off. Many times we would fly what the pilots call “nape of the earth” which is just a few feet above the ground.
I Feel Alive
They would fly right over the river and follow the curves at a very fast speed. It was exhilarating. When I hear the song I’m transported back inside the helicopter to a very happy time for me. We never knew what would happen when we arrived at our objective. Would it be an easy day or would they be waiting for us and we would have to fight our way out? I never felt more alive. Right Now makes me feel alive when I hear it and reminds me that right now is the time to get it done.
Whatever you want to accomplish starts right now. Don’t wait for the perfect day or time. Don’t wait for the pandemic to be over and COVID-19 to be wiped out. Never wait for tomorrow or next week. Don’t wait until the end of the semester or when you get that big project finished at work. There is no better day than today, so go get it done. IT’S YOUR LIFE – go live it.

I totally agree with you about the Power Of Music. As a musician that traveled across Canada and the States I found music was a great way to bring across a message.
At home now when I am feeling down I will sit at my home organ with headphones and just play away my blues. So, yes there is great power in music!
Thank you for listening and your insightful comments.
Some tunes in particular have a way of pumping adrenaline and creating excitement.
There were times that I intentionally used such exciting jams to start my day and they really aid with working out.
I love the “It’s my life” track. I’ll try to listen to the words.

Music is a huge part of my life. It has helped me through rough patches, provided nudges of motivation when working hard, and provided a beautiful outlet for the creativity coursing through my veins. Without it I feel like there would be a huge hole I would need to fill with something else.
Two of my go to tracks when working out are the cover version of “My Body” by Volbeat, and “Outcast” by Shinedown. They remind me the world will try and tell me one thing, or stop me from pushing myself, and it’s up to me to take the gifts God gas given me and forge the way forward. Thank you for your words.
Thank you for listening. It is good to hear how your music helps you. Keep writing and recording.
