A friend of mine had posted a video and this song was used in the video. The musician is Dax Johnson, not a famous musician, but a talented man, nonetheless.
Music is as necessary to the soul as breathing is to the physical body. I grew up surrounded by music, my father was a musician and had his own band. As a child we went to most of my father's shows. Between shows my father would learn new songs. He would get his guitar case out, take out his music sheets and sit at our kitchen table, playing and singing. I can remember him making songs up and putting our names in them..
In time I learned how to play the guitar, not as well as my father, but well enough. I work with children and one day I took my guitar to work. Before I played the children listened raptly as I told them the story of my father and how he got started playing music. I had not learned any children's songs on the guitar so I resorted to playing a Neil Young song, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, when I finished playing and singing one of the little girls asked me if I could play some more "grown up music".
Music stirs the emotions of my soul. As I listened to this piano piece images were stirred in my mind's eye, a stream running through the woods and sunlight filtering down through the leafy branches of the trees. A calm place where the soul can take rest.
Close your eyes and listen, enter into the beauty of the music.
