Do you ever just feel so confused inside and cannot sort out your feelings? I wish there was a clip of that scene from Forces of Nature (with Sandra Bullock) where they’re stuck on the train and she makes them stand on the top of the cars and scream. She beats her chest like Tarzan and belts it out. That is all I want to do. Run to the middle of nowhere and scream!

However, in this world doing so is like yelling fire when there isn’t one, inappropriate and causes undue concern. So whenever I feel this way, I actually take solace in playing piano. For me, feeling the passion flow through my hands is the same way a scream releases your internal emotions. My fingers are screaming for my soul. (And if all else fails, banging some chords doesn’t hurt.)

I’m no concert pianist but playing or listening to a piece like this, how can you not feel? And it’s your interpretation! What is it that allows you to release your soul? What do you do?
