listening to lyrics

I love music and find many 'tunes' uplifting but it has only been more recently that I have really listened to the words/lyrics. Normally I simply listen to the tune and it was through talking to my sons about what it is that we hear when music is played, that I realised how much I was missing out with music. I now listen to the words and what a difference it makes!! During my illness I found enormous comfort and support from this new skill of listening to lyrics and in fact I printed off some lyrics to read when I felt miserable or down in the dumps. Try it and you will be surprised...it works and makes you happy.
