Do you remember the song “Let the music heal your soul?” It was done as a benefit for autism back in the late 90s by just about every member of every boy band ever it seemed.  I bought the single at KMart during my junior year of high school.  The song is still on my iTunes.

The chorus says:

Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power to move any mountain

I’m having some musical healing lately.  To be perfectly honest, I haven’t been dealing with being off my thyroid hormone all that well, I am exhausted and incredibly irritable.  Incredibly irritable.  I told my dad that I might need some “filter” medication, because right now, I have to say everything I’m thinking.  Luckily, I am, so far, able to find an appropriate time and place to do this, but all irritants seem to be magnified.  The one thing that I’ve found that consistently helps is listening to the music that has been a comfort to me before- a lot of older Christian stuff, but I’ve found myself listening to new Christian music too- even Christian radio, which I haven’t done since I left the industry.  Not because of any huge controversy or anything, but because listening to it all day everyday made me not want to listen to it then and questioning my reasons for leaving the industry made it hard to listen to it later.  It has been an incredible comfort for me lately though.

What is some of your favorite “comfort music?”
