The power of music and its effect on the heart By Cat Forsley ©

“Music is the universal language of mankind”

 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

When I hear a frequency in a song
It sends me to another world .
I am studying more and more on why some frequencies effect the heart the way they do.
A Song can move you
Deliver You
Inspire You
Make You dig deep in Your soul
Lift You High Up
or do nothing at all .

I guess it depends on the heart and soul of the individual.

I am Posting Three songs here that really move me
for different reasons.
Maybe because of their Frequencies
Maybe because i spend a lot of my time in headphones
Maybe because my ears are way better than my eyes …

I Kind of wanted to start a discussion on this .
and HEAR what people had to say about how they felt …after listening to each song …
so Here we Go …. Close your eyes and have a listen !

Ryan Adams “So Alive “

Karen O and The Kids – “All is Love “

Eddie Vedder “Rise”

I would love to hear how each song makes you Feel .
I love all these songs, Obviously ….
But i would love to hear what You hear , or feel …
This is a discussion blog ….
If You will …
And i am a big conversationalist
So Thank You in Advance for responding to these songs ..

Favourites Part “Deux” ….Music …… Cat Forsley ©

As I wrote in my last post, I think much of the music industry has lost much of its Artistry … By That I mean that There are less and less True Artists out there … It is only my opinion But the plastic music – well – It doesn’t really do anything for my ears or heart for that matter .
Still – In Saying This … I follow what is Going on and stick to my favourite bands/ singer songwriters and they never cease To make me feel something … That To me is what music is supposed to do: Elicit a Response …

As I am on Youtube a lot because of my channel – I notice wonderful artists – and I guess they would be more Underground artists – as They do Make You feel with their music – They are just Not Signed and come at their art form with a gentler nature – That will be my next post… I have some Youtube artist friends that really deliver beauty to the ear …

So … Back to 2011 and my Favourite albums of the Year …..There are Not many – ! I am Hoping the pendulum starts swinging back to – In My view – REAL ARTISTRY …..

For Give By Cat Forsley ©

For Give

Give in
Give Up
Give
Giving in all directions
It’s Only one Direction
Towards The Fragile heart of Humanity

The Loudness of it All
Used To Hurt My ears
No More
Now I can Tune into the Small

Silence is the Grandest Gesture
The Boldest Statement …

We are all so Small
But whatever we do makes a difference

So insular
This feeling of silence
So all Feeling
So all – seeing
The Prismatic Blue tear for Humanity
will never Dry .
Humanity I love You .
