Music

I was planning on writing about something stupid... you know, just the usual sarcastic me. But earlier tonight, I was playing guitar and singing with my mom. And just a little bit ago, as I started to plan a little of what I was going to write, I started listening to the 'real' version of one of the songs I was playing earlier (Hosanna, by Hillsong, in case you're curious).* So as I was about to start writing, I was struck by a thought: how awesome is it that God created the concept of music?

There is so much amazing beauty in music. And so much diversity to it. And it can be so moving. And it can inspire. Something I think is so great about music is the fact that it exists to be enjoyed, to be sung, to be played, to be moving, to be beautiful. It can impact us in ways that the lyrics alone, without music, never could. It can be so much more memorable than just the words themselves. I dunno even how to put into words how great it is that music exists. (Although, maybe if I wrote a song about it...)

Anyway... I didn't really have a plan for what I was going to write about it, so this may have made sense to only me. But some thoughts wanted to be written down, so they were. And now they have been shared with the world.





*And yes, it was still Hosanna, by Hillsong, even if you weren't curious.**

**I really can't pass up pointing out the ridiculous literalisms (it's a real word) in the English language.***

***Even if this isn't a 'normal' post.****

****Who decided to make asterisks, anyway? How often were they really used before word processors? (And what happened to their friend Obelix?)
