I am sitting here listening to my KaZaA, finding old songs that I had forgotten I even knew at one time. Music to me has always been an outlet for expression, even thou the words and music belong to someone eles. It can help me to work thru my emotions in ways like no other . I can listen to a song and let my grief out, or listen to a song that makes me want to have fun and dance. I can't imagine life without my favorite songs. I used to wonder what the New World would be like , if we couldnt listen to our favorite kinds of music, how dull it would seem to be. I used to like the kingdom melodies well enough, but I didnt want to listen to them all the time. I wanted to listen to Elvis, Chuck Berry, Lynard Syknard, and yes even Ozzy. What about Hank, and all those good old heartbreak songs, George Jones? Since the subject matter would be questionable , they would be tossed I guess, and I always felt God would have to take it out of my head for me not to hum them. I even love the gospel stuff we were forbidden to listen to, like Amazing Grace. I guess thinking about it , music is a very human thing, and maybe the angels sing too, I wonder if they only sing praises to God? What if they sing heartbreak songs too? Who knows , but I love my songs , and would hate to spend eternity not ever hearing them again.
I have found that writing in my journal and listening to music has been the most theraputic thing in my life. I can hear a song, and go back to the exact place, age and time when I first heard that song playing, ya know what I mean? It puts me right back there , like if time hasnt moved at all. I think we need to be able to connect with the past like that. The music we listen to today will be our memories for the future. Years from now, I know I will hear Creed and remember the year I left the borg and how I felt so unsure of it all.
I can honestly say I love all music, I would like to expand my horizons on it thou and listen to more . What about you, do you feel that music and song, are a big part of your life and that it makes life so much better?
