song she heard
Of
cold that gathers
Like
winter's tongue
Among
the shadows
It
rose like blackness
In
the sky
That
on volcano's
Vomit
rise
A
Stone of ruin
From
burn to chill
Like
black moonrise
Her
voice fell still...”

“Every
life has a soundtrack.
There
is a tune that makes me think of the summer I spent rubbing baby oil on my
stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. There's another that reminds me of
tagging along with my father on Sunday morning to pick up the New York Times.
There's the song that reminds me of using fake ID to get into a nightclub; and
the one that brings back my cousin Isobel's sweet sixteen, where I played Seven
Minutes in Heaven with a boy whose breath smelled like tomato soup.
If
you ask me, music is the language of memory.”
―
Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home

care what people say
Just

That's
not the beginning of the end
That's
the return to yourself
The
return to innocence.”
―

think people who truly can live a life in music are telling the world, ‘You can

them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it’s the very best, and it’s
the part I give most willingly”

play until my fingers are blue and stiff from the cold, and then I keep on
playing. Until I'm lost in the music. Until I am the music--notes and chords,
the melody and harmony. It hurts, but it's okay because when I'm the music, I'm
not me. Not sad. Not afraid. Not desperate. Not guilty.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, Revolution
