Music is one of the great mood alterers and I have always wondered why. Why does it stir the emotions as it does? I am self medicating even as I type this with the score from the movie Gladiator and 'o Fortuna' You have to love great music.

Mental Well Being

No one knows what it's like
To be the sad man behind blue eyes.
No one knows what it's like to be me.
My dreams aren't as empty as my
Conciense seems to be....
Yet so many people feel the same as me.

it's strane how are emotions so often rule our lives.....
