I found songs like life stories with melodies. An expression of love, hope, struggles, and success. It is also a reflection of the people around us. We tell stories about them, and their importance, how they matter to us. I am a frustrated singer, and I motivate myself to create music. Somewhere, somehow these songs might soon echo as part of the world apart from me.
