Music

What is man's infatuation with the unseen vibrations that travel from special material items, commonly known as instruments or vocal chords, to our ears and make a plethora of noises that all (preferably) sound in one accord? Is it the sensation of feeling our ear drums frantically move back and forth? Or is it the fascination that thousands of tiny invisible waves are moving toward you at unthinkable speeds and somehow formulate into something noticeable (usually referred to as 'noise')as they bear down upon you? I think neither, though both are intriguing.

It is my belief, being a musician in training, that this extreme love of music comes from a deeper, more hidden (and yet not) need. I believe that the call to experience this phenomena is an eternal heart-cry of all man kind. Human beings, being limited as we are while having been created by the Supernatural, have a burden to express ourselves in extraordinary and artistic ways! There are feelings that are so often bundled inside of our bodies which we do not have the full capability of making them known and, oftentimes, understanding them ourselves; which is where the beauty and depth of Musical Expression enters the picture.

Music, as well as the wording and meaning of it, helps fulfill that need, and desire, in ways which, I believe, are unexplainable to man. It is an awesome and exhilarating experience when we are able to put our thoughts and feelings into something that seems to express them so precisely, and yet stays open to interpretation to others which, in turn, is able to unite people of all backgrounds and interests together on one level. It also enables the musician a way to funnel his/her feelings in this way at any time by simply picking up their instrument of choice and playing and/or singing till their current need is sufficiently satisfied.
