Music is a language. It’s medicine. It’s comfort. It’s celebration. It’s arguably a basic human need directly following water & food. . . possibly above both shelter and love. . as it cuts deep, envelops our lives & gives us resonance connection & hope even when we feel our most helpless. If you love music and it means this much to you, nurture the people who create it. Buy the record instead of ripping it off. Go to a show. Tip. Write the artist and tell them what it means to you. Become a patron (www.patronism.com). Participate in the things that heal you. That’s all. ♥
