Sing!

When was the last time you broke out in song?
Come on how many of you have sung in the shower at the top of your lungs or maybe in your car to the radio not caring about anything but how cool it would be to be in a band and just singing, losing yourself in the musical beat!!!
You don’t have to answer all at once! But if you have never ever done that, you are so missing out! There is nothing like singing a song. It puts a smile on your face and in your heart. It could be a love song or a break up song, maybe a song from your favorite musical or movie. I bet many of you remember your first love and the song that was playing on the radio.

Music is a magical thing.

People dance, cry, fall in love and fall out of love to music. It’s a part of who we are culturally. Just look at what we’ve all been experiencing over the past few weeks with the death of “the King of Pop” culture, Michael Jackson. For the past 40 years his music touched people across every corner of our world. You can’t deny that music has played an important role in America’s history.
But singing…it’s magical. Come on how did you get your kids to fall asleep at night? You probably sang them a lullaby and I bet your little baby could care less if the song was out of tune or “pitchy” (sorry I had to add a little American idol terminology).
Have you ever gotten up on stage at a bar and sang Karaoke? What are you afraid of? I guarantee everyone in the audience is jealous of your bravery and deep inside they wish they had enough nerve. And so what if they laugh at you because you sound like a cackling hen. You’ve just made someone laugh and they may not have laughed in a very long time. You could have just made their day by singing horribly!!!

If “Oscar the Grouch” can sing, why not you?
So…

“Sing, sing a song. Sing out loud. Sing out strong. Sing of good things not bad. Sing of happy not sad. Sing. Sing a song make it simple to last your whole life long. Don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing!”

Keep climbing!
