I don't know who, but someone needs this, so here it is
"For everyone who is falling in love
For every child that needs a hug
For all the hopes and dreams that we share
And for the hearts that cry tonight
I'll say a prayer."
(Cece Winans)

Music
Music is a powerful creation. It boggles my mind sometimes that man, fallible man at that given our world, has been able to capture the ability to produce notes, harmony, rhythmn, music.

It doesn't matter who does the playing, the singing, the conducting. Music rises above the physical mass of its masters and instead reaches into the hearts and souls of those receptive to it.

Young David was able to calm King Saul's nightmares with it. Sirens were reputed to enrapture sailors with their voices. The story of the Pied Piper had notes driving out rats, and later, stealing children away. Even Disney's Fantasia andFantasia 2ooo have sold extremely well. People know that music is a strong, moving force.

Even though I have no skill in it, I love music with a passion, especially instrumental. The heavy pulse of the drums, the silver threads of the strings, the almost cacophonous clatter of the piano, and the blare of the brass. A large portion of my entertainment I judge on music, and if the music is cheesy or poorly done, I won't invest my time being entertained with it.

I adore music videos. OverclockedRemixes.com is one of my favorite online spots. Some of the stories I invent for myself result from certain wonderful pieces. And when I'm not doing that, I just use music to exercise, pass time, or just relieve stress. I know the power of music.
