What we listen too does affect us in all energies we carry with us. Physical, emotional, spiritual, mental and social.
We are in a different world now. As you say, what we are exposed to can affect us and, yes, over time it always will.
I try to share in my music and focus on something that'simportant to someone, or experience. Some stories are really sad or bad experiences, so it takes time to lift them out with the "sound" that I create for each song.
Ultimately, its a positive coming from a negative and changing a memory that is very difficult, or experience that is hurtful to someone. I think of it as a part of my response and responsibility to do songs for others.
The song PRECIOUS is for a childhood friend, who did go through tough things, I wanted to celebrate her and how much she was always there from when we were little girls at school and reconnecting as we are now.
