I think its the greatest gift that God has ever given to mankind. Even to those who can't sing, the sound that they make is still the sweetest sound to their most loved ones. Its so often described that when you hear the voice of the one you love, its likened to hearing the choirs of heaven intertwined with the harps of the angels all at once, fused into an endless melody you never want to stop. For years, 20 to be exact, I have been a music buff, not a hardcore one but just enough to know the songs that are good and the ones that are really awesome. My tastes are preferential though and i guess that speaks a lot about me. Oh yes, music speaks about our personalities as well, in a way, it transforms us, emo songs turn us into emotionally inclined people, whereas metal... well lets just say it gives us a more interesting take on life. My tastes pretty much vary i guess, i don't really have a specific genre that i listen to, i pretty much love each and every bit of it. I used to get blasted for listening to 50 Cent, Eminem and well rap in general, i still do, then the same for R&B. I guess one word to describe music would be influential. The reason why i'm posting this is i guess because of influence. "Nick and Norah's Endless Playlist" go check it out when you have the chance, you won't regret it, especially if you're a music lover. I guess it truly personified what music means to me, from expression of my feelings to coping with them. I can't remember the countless times where i'm experiencing a certain emotion and can't express it then all of a sudden a song that fits your emotion perfectly comes along and bam there you go, either the tears start flowing or you start smiling ear to ear or you just reach out to the person whom you've wronged and just tell them you're sorry. So i guess music really does heal your soul. I dunno about you, sometimes God speaks to me through songs, they don't have to all be Christian songs, He knows i can't do that just yet. But He knows how to really get me with certain songs at certain times. Don't underestimate the power of music people, it moves you, and whether you know it or not, when you hear it, it reverberates the inner recesses of your heart and soul and either heals you or destroys you, like it or not, it somehow becomes part of you, makes you wanna be careful of what you listen to as well.
