what’s music good for?
music is good for
rainy days
and sunny days.
spring mornings
and summer evenings.

music is good for
falling in love.
and for falling
out of it.

music is good
for mornings when
you break your phone
and lose your wallet
and rear-end your teacher
in your parent's car.

To let the melodies
wash over you like the
waves on the sand.
Beating, constantly
beating and faithfully
cleaning
away the sorrows
and letting the joy
peak through.

music is
good for everything.

Yeah, I feel the same way about music. I liked how you captured it's feel, and all the senarios that it can help with. For constructive criticism, I'd suggest capitalizing after periods, but other than that, well I have nothing more to add. Great job Chris!
