Let's just agree that music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.

My dad hates it as I'm not allowed to listen to it with him around. đđ Contrasts with my mom considering she was in a band. đ€Łđ€Ł (A small Church band. It's the Three Miracles if you've heard of them) She doesn't do it anymore.
