Linking the child you once were

Do you believe how powerful music can be as it penetrates to the innermost cells of your brain? I do. Surely, many instances of you having your melancholic state being intensified by a particular genre of music or adding up the wild atmosphere in a party with the loud music on air have taken place. In the same way, total change of mood by the music can happen.

At one moment, when you have nothing in particular to work on, you lie in your bed then suddenly feel the urge to listen to music, then everything in your atmosphere as well as the way your innermost feeling changes.

Unintentionally, you bump at one of your favorite Disney animated film soundtrack. As you listen to the wonderful beat of the music, you all of the sudden feel like going back in time. You are so moved that you already felt like dancing in the air, feet moving from left to right, shoulders go up and down, hands waving from one side to the other, head moving with the melody, singing the lyrics with a facial expression mimicking of that of the character who was actually singing in the scenes that are still so flawlessly crystal clear as you recall for back in time, you have been watching the same film day by day as if there were no end to it. You feel the moment as if you were really part of the scene and you are wearing a big smile on your face. Reminiscing the time when you have nothing to think about but savor each moment as how important the scene to the story is as it was to you, you begin to feel like the child back there.

Then abruptly, the jolly music ended. You can only pause, feel amazed and think that for a moment you feel ecstatic of being the child you once were. You smile, take a hold of your music player and replay the same song that caused you to be unreasonably happy.
