Have you ever been to a concert, or had the music up so loud that you couldn't tell the bass from your heartbeat, and you worried that when the bass stopped, you just might fall to the floor, lifeless?
Its those moments that I know that there has to be more out there than just humanity. And I'm not talking about aliens. I'm talking about God. People are not deep enough to have thought of music for themselves. Music was created by God to give people a feeling of His presence. Secular or Christian, music reaches for something that we as humans could never get to ourselves. there is a connection to something unexplained when you envelop yourself in a beautiful melody, or you play something straight from your heart. There is something there that cannot be explained. Not, at least, by our human standards.
It triggers something inside of us that longs for more. something that makes us want to search for some unknown thing and never stop. It makes us want to be content in searching, and finding that perfect piece, or that one song that just speaks your life and your meaning. A song that IS you is musical form. And many people have accomplished that. I, however, am still searching. And I anticipate a long search. God knows me and he knows my heart. And when I find my lifesong, only then will I be satisfied.
I find comfort in my car. Why? It is the only place I can sing at the top of my lungs until tears stream from my eyes. While the bass rattles the windows and my goofy spoiler (which rattles regardless). Some times I listen to music just because I know it has enough base. I am not really an ear buds person. I need to be surrounded. Your blog inspired me to write this short p. Thanks and I hope your bass is blasting
