This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you. This week’s post shows how “Music brings people together”.
Everyone can understand music. It can take us places, help us remember special times, and make us healthier, happier, and more connected as family, friends, and members of a larger community.
Music is a powerful way to bring people together:
– National anthems bring people together at sports games;
– Protest songs give marchers a sense of a common goal;
– Hymns give people in churches a sense of belonging;
– Love songs help people get to know each other when they’re dating;
– lullabies enable parents and infants to develop secure attachments.

If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.”- Jimi Hendrix“Music is the strongest form of magic.” – Marilyn Manson“I don’t make music for eyes.
