Music is

I am a massive believer in the power of song.  That sounds really corny, I know, but I really hold that to be true.  Music has power and music has unique power.

Music has the power to completely change a moment or an experience. Music has the power to lead us toward emotion and through emotion.  Music has the power to make us laugh, and cry, and smile.  It has the power to cause anything from raging revolt to sleep.  Music has the power to make us feel good when we produce it. To make us feel good when we dance to it.  It provides us the opportunity to move and act silly.  It has the power to completely change our day around simply by being present.  And the right kind of music, the perfect song, for the perfect moment, well that has the power to change the entire course of our lives.

Music has existed for centuries.  Maybe for all of time.  It has served many purposes throughout its existence: communication, entertainment, prayer.  It has played a role in major historical events.  And it is one behavior, one experience, that connects us, living in the modern age, to our ancestors, and their ancestors, and their ancestors and connects us wherever we are to everyone else, wherever they are.  Music represents cultures and families.  One thing unifying all in their differences.

Music is powerful.

Music is beautiful.

Music is history.

Music is people.

Music is.

Keep on thinking,
