Last night, I had trouble falling asleep again. The restlessness in my heart was like breaking through the drowsiness, constantly tormenting my mind. Even though my eyelids were heavy, I couldn't enter a peaceful state of sleep.
Following my usual method, I casually opened a game and started playing, gradually exhausting my last bit of energy without realizing it, and fell asleep deeply, leaving the game interface on until I woke up the next day. Although my body could clearly feel the exhaustion, it was still much better than staying up all night. But this time, my subconscious told me not to do that, so I put on my headphones, opened QQ Music that I hadn't used in a long time, and played a long-lost song.
Carrying the survivor of dreams
Experiencing the entanglement of life
A sustainable tug-of-war
Will the eyes still burn?
The song "Survivor" that once deeply moved me now feels like the rhythm is too fast, as if my inner thoughts are desperately rushing forward, making me more and more uncomfortable. So I quickly switched to another song that I like.
Wrapped in the light of the heart, it's loud
Don't panic, it says
It says it's good to be alone, belief creates extraordinary things
The warm and melodious rhythm, the lyrics conveying a gentle and positive power, made me feel like I am really "Wrapped in the Light of the Heart". With the music, I gradually felt my inner peace, and even started to hum softly. At that moment, the lyrics became more concrete with my thoughts, as if I had finally been redeemed from the bottomless abyss and immersed in a relaxed, melodious, and bright dream.
It was an unintentional act, but this beautiful melody touched my heartstrings, soothing my restlessness and agitation, and brought me back to a calm night, peacefully falling asleep with the silence of the night.
Suddenly, I realized that no matter what I have encountered in the past, I have always been accompanied by friends and music. A person's spiritual world always has something to rely on. Some people rely on melodies, some people rely on scenes in movies, some people rely on the bitterness and sweetness of characters in dramas, and some people rely on the thousands of words in books. Like other forms of art, music carries a kind of expression. It reflects the material world, but more importantly, it conveys and seeks resonance with emotions, thoughts, and spirits. The tenderness of music can soothe pain, and when you hear a song that you understand, it often reminds you of many sweet or bitter experiences. You know what the song is about and what it wants to express. Memories come flooding back involuntarily.
The Valkyrie won't stop
The Valkyrie won't stop
The Valkyrie won't stop
Rockin' my jet⭐
Cosmic love take off
Music may be the best way to portray emotions. When listening to this song, I think of a series of incredible moves that lead to victory, and I feel a burning sensation in my heart. When I hear "遊星テーマ，" I am reminded of the touching moments when synchronizing with Stardust Dragon. The opening music of Civilization VI is grand and magnificent, as if all the magnificent civilizations of humanity are right in front of me. The weight and sacredness of history naturally inspire reverence. The leisurely music in Mondstadt in Genshin Impact is relaxing, while the Chinese-style melodies in Liyue evoke a sense of returning home for a wanderer. Music provides the most direct feelings, whether it's beauty or disgust. Sometimes, music is a lifeline for the soul, a gift of the spiritual world, and the most genuine goodness and beauty.
Writing this article may be a way to record the resonance between music and the soul.
