Music Can Heal a Broken Heart

From the Editor

It can make you run faster. It can inspire you to be better. It can be the soundtrack to an era of your life, or a moment that unites you and a new love. Music can truly be anything you need or want it to be, and that’s what makes it so powerful.

I could wax poetic about all the ways in which music has changed my own life, or the shows that were so epic that I could actually feel the music deep in my bones. But that conversation would be endless, because so many of my life’s best moments involve music.

And I know I’m not alone in this. Like other artistic mediums including photography, music is a universal language that has the unique ability to connect us. Beyond explanation, beyond definition, it’s a shared feeling and experience that let’s us know we’re alive. Carrying that kind of weight and importance, we had to dedicate an entire issue to exploring all the things we love and adore about music.

I hope you’ll discover a new artist or band in this issue, and perhaps even fall in love with them just as much as we have. Maybe you’ll buy tickets to their show, or purchase their music. Or, maybe you’ll just listen, feel and experience.
