It's been a long time since I wrote a post in the "Music is magic, music is emotion' series.
I'm not sure how much I did on Steemit, but it think it wil go around 30 or 40.

The subject of this post is (of course) music. For me music is a motor, it drives me. Without music I am not sure if I could live the life I am living. Music is like a vain in good and in bad times. 

This post is all about the songs which are important to me for different reasons. Some I will explain and some ....well you can perhaps guess the motivation. :)

<h1>Creed - With arms wide open</h1>

I could have chosen a whole bunch of songs of Creed, for me Creed was one of the best discoveries at the time the Album "Human Clay" came out. The combination of the heavy riffs and the voice of Scott Stapp. I think the combination is just meant to be, with arms wide open is just a song which gives me goosebumbs.

<h1>Emma Heesters - Strong</h1>

This is a very very fresh one, just past weekend I saw this for the first time. I even didn't know Emma Heesters. The clip is from a TV show "the best singers of Holland" , every season a couple of dutch singers are gathered in Ibiza. Every week one of them is the center of the program and the others will sing a song from the central singer or a song which it tight bonded with the person.
This time Floor Jansen the Female singer of [Nightwhish](http://nightwish.com/en) was in the center of the evening. Nightwhish is a gothic metal band. Emma Heester took a song of them and made it hers with a bit of Style change... But the expression and emotion on Floor Jansen her face...... Thats what music is all about, I don't have to say anything more I guess..

<h1>Prince - Nothing compares to you</h1>

For me the best ever version of Princes own "Nothing compares to you"..... Prince as Rosie.....the dynamic duo... The timing of the band, the breaks and the emotion both throw into this song... That's emotion into the music....

<h1>Gary Moore - Parsienne Walkways </h1>
https://youtu.be/FiuQ1EbrT94

There is no guitarist who can let a Gibson sing like Gary Moore right @melbookermusic ? 
This song, the solo, it cries..... It hits you right into the heart... although he was such a gifted guitarist, this song isn't about the shredding....it's about the overdriven sound... the emotion....
Just have a look at the crowd.... The expression on their faces...it tells me they witnessed a moment which the will remember for the rest of their lifes..

<br><br>
<h1>OZZY OSBOURNE - "Mr. Crowley" </h1>
https://youtu.be/G3LvhdFEOqs

Randy Rhoads...what can I say... His guitarplaying gives me the goosebumbs. Mr. Crowley just is for me the ultimate example of magic... The magic between Ozzy and Randy is just something you won't see often. Sad they never got to stretch their cooperation......

<br><br>
<h1>Abba -The Way Old Friends Do</h1>
https://youtu.be/REin1BuqiZk
[Source](https://youtu.be/REin1BuqiZk)
Whenever I hear this song I think of my grandfather. He was a very sweet an humble man. Whenever he visited our house I could count on it, this song was played. The smile on his face and the twinkle in his eyes.... Worth millions.... He died when I was eleven but I would never forget the evenings, listening to Abba, together with my Grandfather....

<br><br>

For now... I think I will call it a night... I jump from one song to the other in YouTube.... But I love it...

Which music moves you....

Have a awesome evening !!

Peter
