Food For Thought

Let the music be. Don't try to say 'Music is this! Music is that!' Music is to you what you want it to be, and to that person over there it's how he wants it to be. Music is expression, emotions shown on another level far exceeding words. Okay so you don't like Country music. But counry music may be the girl next door's way to keep herself calm or her relaxing haven. Or take rap as an example. Ever bothered to listen to the lyrics to some of those songs? Some are so deep it's astounding. That artist needed to express his inner feelings and chose that form of music to let him alieviate his pain. Never criticize a person for they type of music they listen to, and please don't ever say "That's not music." Everything is music, you just have to open your ears.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.  ~Leo Tolstoy

Music is it. It is what you use when words can't be formed, it's what you run to because there is nothing left. It draws close what other's can't touch, it reaches farther inside you than even you can reach. Music has strength beyond what we can bear, tones beyond what we can hear, and eyes so far beyond what we can see. Open yourself up to music and you'll be surprised at what you can find.
