It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music.

Music is a melody, is some memories, is a story, is sometimes a kind of a company.
音乐，是一种旋律，是一些回忆，
是一个故事，是有些时候的某种陪伴。
Music is the medicine of
troubled mind.
