Music is Life: The Soundtrack to Staying Purple

Music is life. If you're here, you get it—how a song can wrap around your soul like a cozy blanket or ignite your spirit like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Music isn’t just background noise; it’s the pulse that carries us forward, the energy that lifts us higher, and the emotional connection that makes us feel understood.

For me, music has been my constant companion through every season of life. From timeless legends to fresh voices, some artists just get the journey. The Beatles, for instance—how do you not feel hope when “Here Comes the Sun” spills through the speakers? Or the joy in Michael Franti & Spearhead’s “Say Hey (I Love You)”—a reminder to love big, smile often, and let positivity light your path.

There’s also a groove to be found in Cake's clever lyrics and funk-inspired beats. Tracks like “The Distance” bring that quirky mix of grit and optimism—perfect for tackling a challenging day. On the flip side, NF's raw, honest storytelling resonates with those moments when life feels heavier, yet his music always pushes toward growth and resilience.

And let’s not forget the Red Hot Chili Peppers, blending California sunshine with funk-rock energy. Whether it’s “Under the Bridge” stirring nostalgia or “Can’t Stop” making you want to dance like nobody’s watching, their music proves that sound can both heal and empower.

This “Music is Life” graphic says it all. Music is more than a hobby or a playlist; it’s a lifestyle—one where lyrics inspire, rhythms move us, and melodies carry meaning.

At Purple Gorilla Design, we believe in staying purple: staying kind, optimistic, and loving life to the fullest. Music reflects those values perfectly. Whether you’re turning up your favorite song in the car, sharing a concert experience with friends, or discovering a new artist, music is a reminder that there’s always beauty, connection, and joy to be found.

So here’s to the bands and songs that give our lives their soundtrack. Here's to staying purple and dancing through it all—because when music is life, every moment becomes a little brighter.
