Eddie Vedder’s Earthling: Sonic balm for the species
By Matt Vaughan
Music has healing powers. To me and many people music is your vibration, your frequency, it’s your medicine. We seek music in times of need. We use music in times of celebration and joy. Songs can find their ways into our soul when we least expect it. We can become overwhelmed with emotion or find ourselves in deep reflection. Or it might simply just jack us up. It might even help form our identity. Loved ones grow closer. We find people who might share in our love of a song, a band, an artist, a voice. We merge with others and we emerge empowered and unified. As far as I’m concerned, music is essential. Agree?
