MUSIC HEALED ME
- Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

Hello music lovers, welcome to my blog, If you are visiting my blog for the first time I'm Kelvin popularly known as kilvnrex. I don't want to bore you for long so let's quickly ride along to what brought you here.
Have you ever heard a sound that shatters your spirit, rebuilds it, and recreates something else in you? This has been my experience with music this year.
I want to believe that there are true music lovers here who can relate exactly with what I'm saying, and if you are, you will agree with me that music is more than just lyrics and sounds, chords and tones. There is something behind every sound, every chord and everything that makes up a song.
Early this year, march to be precise, I collected an album from a friend because I was tired of the once I had I needed something new. But then again it took me over a month before I could listen to them because I felt I was cheating on my old music by collecting new ones😂 unfortunately or should I say fortunately, I was feeling depressed because of some issues I had with my family that crippled me emotionally. I needed to heal so bad because I was drowning and I couldn't find comfort in my old album anymore. I opted into my full playlist to play every single song I had hoping that I will find something to hold unto.
I then shuffled my music playlist only to hear an extraordinary sound that blew me away completely. This wasn't a song, it was an Instrumental. But this was no ordinary instrumental. Hearing it for the first time, It went into my soul and healed me up completely, it was like the sound knew the exact spot that was injured in me and went there directly to seal it up. I found myself shading tears profusely. When my roommate came in and heard the sound he just lay down without saying a word I knew it did something to him too. The next morning he couldn't help but ask if I could send him the song which I did, although he is a lover of instrumentals but he admitted this particular one was unique the instrumental is titled " The Beckoning" and from then on we would play just that sound from morning till night as long as I had the time.
Another time while playing the song, I Mistakenly removed it from repeat and another instrumental creeped into my hears "Zaphnathpaaneah Instrumental". Menh those two combos are the perfect blues I have ever combined. I do prefer songs to instrumentals generally but these two instrumentals became my drugs as well as my muse. When non music lovers come visiting and hear the sound the say it's nice but as far as it's just sounds they don't see the effect but I'm a music lover and I know that sound is life.
If you can relate with this story, can you be so kind as to share your experience.....
You are soooo right! Music can be much more than just sounds, rhythms, melodies and such. Must say, much of the music our there, doesnt do it for me. But quite some, triggers me big time. And I dont mean in terms of bodily movements, but the mind. It sucks in to my mind to deep deep depths. It makes my mind to decouple itself from the physical world, completely. It connects everything in me, 100% with the music listening to. It gives me this feeling to be part of the music. As if I'm inside the music itself. Such a wonderful experience. An experience I regularly seek. The result of such 'trip', always (without any exception) a better, more positive feeling. And the fun fact, I like the lesser fun songs and tracks. The more dark, melancholic pieces of music around. And still, the dark makes me happy. The dark may bring me to tiers, but turns my mind towards the positive side of everything.
Am so glad you experience such effect as well. Or at least I believe my experiences are similar to yours, though we both describe such experiences with different words.
I can only advise you: Explore music more often. Don't just stick to your own collection and genres. You can't believe how many songs, tracks, music pieces I added to my collection by simply exploring the unexplored. In the genres I like, but also in the genres I usually not listen to.
ps What was this music piece you talk about? You have YT or Spotify links for me?
My point exactly. I'm so glad someone can relate with my music experience, thanks for stopping by.

The problem with most music is, the standard for the A note was set at 440 Hz. That in itself is not a problem, but musicians have been tuning their instruments to that standard.
The natural standard for that note should be 432 Hz.
In this video you can see what it would do to the water, which your body is made of.
Ever more musicians learn about this, and tune their instruments to 432 Hertz. Most old music, nearly all old music was tuned to 440 Hertz. It should all be recorded again, tuned at 432 Hertz.
