Music weaves a universal thread that connects us all, transcending age, species, and language. Its emotive power can touch the heart of anyone, even the youngest among us.
This adorable video of a baby named Alder, who listens intently to Karen Carpenter’s “I Know I Need To Be In Love” as sung by Annie, is a testament to this. Despite not having spoken his first words yet, Alder attempts to sing along, embodying the innate connection we all share with music. Of course, the attempt wasn’t perfect, but we can all hear and feel the passion behind the baby’s voice. Are we witnessing a star in the making?
This touching moment quickly resonated with millions, amassing over 13 million views on YouTube. It’s a beautiful illustration of music’s profound impact on our emotions, joining a myriad of clips that highlight music’s universal appeal.
Another heartwarming example features a young boy named George, who usually prefers heavy metal but is visibly moved when his mother sings opera to him. You are never too young to learn something new!
Let’s not forget the enchanting street performances that have the magical ability to bring joy to passersby, especially children. Borja Catanesi, known for his electrifying guitar solos, once had a little girl dancing carefree in the streets to his rendition of “Despacito.” Captivated by his music, she stayed to enjoy the performance long after the song ended, proving once again how music can enchant and bring pure happiness to our lives.
