"Caged Bird" by Shunichi Miyamoto
If ever there was a song that has inspired me more or brought me to tears within the first few minutes like this one, I would be shocked. I've spent a long time trying to find the music sheets for this piece, and attempted to learn how to play the piano just so I could play this song. Everything about it is so incredibly beautiful: I love the emotion in the singing, I love the beautiful transitions. Everything about the music speaks out to me, and I think that's what's music purpose really is: to speak to people, no matter what culture or ethnicity, and create a catharsis. These lyrics inspired the URL for this journal and it has been my favorite song since 2005. I hope these lyrics reach out to you wherever you are and remind you that you are not alone.
