About This Quote
Singing diminishes sorrow. When played in the right context, music can be an effective tool for helping people to overcome their sorrow. I’ve had the experience of having someone come up to me and tell me that they were sad. Then, they asked me to play them a song.

I used to think that I really had no power over my ability to sing songs that would help people feel better. But then I realized that it actually wasn’t my singing that was doing the trick; it was the act of singing itself.
