Music Therapy - Healing through...

Vivian Westlake

Music has long been recognized as a universal language, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to evoke emotions, inspire creativity, and foster connections. Its profound ability to influence the human mind and body makes it a powerful tool in the realm of healing. Across centuries and civilizations, music has been intertwined with rituals, ceremonies, and therapeutic practices, underscoring its integral role in promoting well-being and harmony.
At its core, the healing power of music lies in its ability to engage multiple dimensions of human experience. On a physical level, music stimulates neural pathways in the brain, influencing areas responsible for emotion, memory, and motor coordination. Research has shown that listening to or playing music can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, while simultaneously boosting the production of dopamine, which promotes feelings of pleasure and relaxation. These biochemical responses highlight music’s potential to alleviate stress, reduce pain, and improve overall physiological health.
Emotionally, music serves as a conduit for expression and connection. It has the unique ability to articulate feelings that words often cannot capture, offering solace during moments of grief, anxiety, or despair. For individuals dealing with mental health challenges, music therapy provides a safe and non-invasive avenue to explore and process emotions. Whether through the soothing strains of a classical melody or the energizing beats of a rhythmic tune, music can uplift spirits, encourage self-reflection, and foster resilience.

Elton John's Blue Moves

Matthew Restall

By 1976, Elton John was the best-selling recording artist and the highest-grossing touring act in the world. With seven #1 albums in a row and a reputation as a riveting piano-pounding performer, the former Reggie Dwight had gone with dazzling speed from the London suburbs to the pinnacles of rock stardom, his songs never leaving the charts, his sold-out shows packed with adoring fans. Then he released Blue Moves, and it all came crashing down.Was the commercially disappointing and poorly reviewed double album to blame? Can one album shoot down a star? No, argues Matthew Restall; Blue Moves is a four-sided masterpiece, as fantastic as Captain Fantastic, as colorful as Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, a showcase for the three elements--piano-playing troubadour, full orchestra, rock band--with which Elton John and his collaborators redirected the evolution of popular music. Instead, both album and career were derailed by a perfect storm of circumstances: Elton’s decisions to stop touring and start his own label; the turbulent shiftings of popular culture in the punk era; the minefield of attitudes toward celebrity and sexuality. The closer we get to Blue Moves, the better we understand the world into which it was born--and vice versa. Might that be true of all albums?
