Music came through in my last college days
It's been a while I wrote on this platform and in one of my favourite community: "Q inspired-by- music"of course. I know some people may wonder what might have happened to Chuksmeezy, but let's just say... I got entangled writing my final year exams.
It was a really crucial and depressing moment for me. You know that period of your life when everything around you is put on hold to accomplish a once-in-a-lifetime task? Yeah that was definitely me!!
Well, there was this song that really caught my attention during that period. A song that gave me a breath of fresh air, relieving me of my stress and depression. It's called "Venus" by Serotonin. As at then, he hadn't released the full song, rather we only had snippets of the song. The full song as you can see above was released about a month ago and trust me when I say I've been on this song since the inception of its release. My Ear drums are prolly screaming for salvation right now but what more can I do than submit to the healing power of music, not just music, but good music!!
It's crazy how something as little as a song can have therapeutic effects. Where drugs, medicine, and parties have failed to bring forth that stream of happiness in our needy days, a song does so with minimal effort. Perhaps this is because songs have been in existence even before we were born. You know that part of Christianity where it is believed that Lucifer sang songs to glorify the heavens? Well, I think we all do. So yeah, believe it or not, Music has been part of our existence.
Indeed, I've always known of the effects of songs and how influential they can be to our mental health and that's why during my recent exams when it felt like I was at the edge of the world... I turned towards music, and found solace in it. This amazing musical piece is none other than serotonin's "Venus" which I mentioned earlier.
There was something I loved about the song the moment I heard it while at a restaurant, taking a break from the long stretch of hours I spent studying. The melody was like life to my soul, air to my lungs and inspiration to my thoughts. I held onto the lyrics and listened to the rhythm which spread into the atmosphere creating a perfect spark in the ambience.
The song became my personal escort... I listened to it while in the bathroom, while eating, during my studying hours, during laundry hours and even in my sleep. One day my roommate was like
"Emeka, you've made me hate this song."
"Why?"
I asked in response, like I didn't know the answer.
"You've replayed this song up to a million times."
I wore a smile on my face...
"Calm down bro, it hasn't even been up to a week... How possible is it to have played it up to a million times??"
"With you everything is possible" he replied.
I laughed out hysterically as it sounded funny to me in a way only I can explain. He joined me as we both went on a laughing spree.
Just so you know, my laugh is quite contagious so you wouldn't blame him.
Days went by and the same cycle just kept going on and on, I mean, the cycle of reading, eating, music, reading, music and more reading!!
On the day of our last exams, I got back into the room after our surgery OSCE and my roommate got a call from God knows who. While the phone rang, I heard the same song I've been incessantly replaying over and over. I looked over at his phone placed on the table right in front of me before realizing something: It was his ringtone!!!
How ironical! I was surprised and happy at the same time. It just shows he felt the same thing I felt while listening to the song or should I say we were both drawn by the same cosmic energy that links the universe in one way or the other.
Well, I was happy I spread the Gospel and won a soul! It was a moment to remember.
I guess I can't write any further post in this community if I don't share this important clip of my life with you.
Least I forget, feel free to address me as Dr. Emeka 🤗
