The fogged car windows yearned for the warming rays of the sun, while passersby, with wet feet and soggy coats, hurried somewhere with sadness on their gray faces, seeking a place, perhaps, a little brighter and warmer. It was precisely at that moment when it seemed the entire world had submerged into endless cold autumn, that magic emanated from thundering speakers. Initially, it was just a faint rustle, but soon it transformed into a melody. It was the music of Kris Kross Amsterdam and their new single “Stay (Never Leave).” It was something incredible, like a symphony in the midst of a festival on this gloomy, rainy evening. My feet moved to the rhythm of the music as if on autopilot. I danced in this world of sorrow and rain, as if the God of dance parties had descended upon us. In that moment, I realized that even in the darkest times, music has the power to pave a path to joy and inspiration. It’s in such moments when the sounds of music intertwine with the soul that miracles become possible, and mundane days transform into enchanting adventures.
