have you heard of melody gardot?
in 2003, at the age of 19, she suffered a traumatic brain injury.
even after 18 months of intense therapy and pain medications,
she was still in pain,
couldn't handle bright lights or sounds.
she had {and still has} no short-term memory,
she was disabled
and completely desperate and miserable.
* * *
frustrated, she dropped a bag of many pill bottles,
that weren't working, at her doctor's feet,
he asked her what did she love as a child.
her answer: she loved to play the piano.
* * *
she began to play again for therapy.
now, 7 years later,
she is an amazing singer-songwriter.
* * *
music is love. music heals.
