“Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.”

This quote from Just Listen by Sarah Dessen perfectly explains why music is so important in my life. There are songs that immediately take me back to a certain place or time, no matter what’s happening in my life.
