Ode to Music

[Deleted member 10878]

Music brings out the best and worst in us. The sweetest of melodies brings a tear to the eye, and the harshness of a guitar riff sends unrequited rage to the heart. Does our life revolve around it, or does it make us evolve? It makes us feel.. setting us apart from the other species.. our ability to take in this wonder of sounds and melodies, and turn it into liquid emotions. Every song has its own story, much like books we read as kids. It just depends on who's telling the story. There are, indeed, some really terrible stanzas, and there are also some truly amazing things, that hardly the human heart is ready to comprehend.... melodies that are capable of unhinging the doorway to the soul.. and letting it fly away, into the depths of our virgin minds and imaginations. Unspoken words.. yet the point is made and understanding is usually more than when we speak. How it would be to be deaf.. to never be able to embrace the lovliness of music.. to close my eyes, and see the colors shift and fade in my mind.. and release when I open them once again. Amazement is what I feel.. and am left with, to fill me for a while. Sheer amazement..
Like the great words of Percy Shelley say:
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory--
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

I feel the same as you....for I have just recently listened to music. Now I do not mean played a tune while I was cleaning...I have sat down and felt the music pierce into my soul and unravel a doorway of light and passion, of happiness natural extacy. I know that music is very important to peoples lives...I just wish that they would realize it as well.
