Music

I
Every year in Maine I fall in love all over again with music.
We play music all day, and all night.  We choose from our 50+ pandora stations based on the mood, or whose turn it is to choose.  The boys are stuck on the Jack Johnson kids station.  At night we listen to Rain for Roots.  Last year it was the Milk Carton Kids station that got me.
This year it is Dawes.
I am a lover of music, it hits me in deep places. Lyrics do, but also melodies, and chord progressions.  I love when songs are so simple and beautiful that I think, "it amazes me that this has never been written before."
That, to me, is the most intriguing part...
there are such a small amount of notes to choose from, yet new melodies are born every day and we will never run out of new melodies to be made. 
Beautiful.
Sigh.
And i still have a few more days to breathe in deep this Maine air.  
Nothing compares.
Thank you God.
