1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Music saved me.

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: I think that music has saved me time and time again.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 3: Music saved me two or three times over.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 4: Music has been more so the arm of God around me.

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 5: of music.

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 4: I'm Walker Hayes, and I'm here to talk about how

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 4: important the gift of music is an outside source of therapy,

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 4: but also just a therapeutic, creative way to express myself.

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: My name is Jelly Roll. My mother struggled with a

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 3: lot of mental health stuff. She didn't leave her room

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: very much, but when she would, she would come down

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: to the kitchen and she would play records, and the

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 3: whole house would just flock to the kitchen, all six

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: seven of us, you know. And I think that was

16
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 3: the beginning of music starting to save my life.

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 5: My name is Black Back.

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm a neoclassical composer and pianist from Detroit, Michigan. I

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: believe that musicians have a great power, and to use

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: that power in a way that is of service to

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: others is exactly why we were given the power in

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: the first place.

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Mary Goshe, we're dealing with alchemy here. Alchemy is an

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: ancient form of magic. I would say, maybe turning coal

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: into a diamond is alchemy. Why does a sad song

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: make you feel happy? That is taking darkness and turning

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: it into light. That's alchemy.
