I’ve Got The Music
Music is the universal language. We don’t need to understand the words to interrupt the way it makes us feel. Music evokes emotions. It makes you happy. It makes you sad. It lifts you up. It takes you down.
Music excites the senses. The taste of music to the ear can be sweet or bitter.
The same music and yet the so different how the mind perceives it. The sight of music to the eye is how you perceive your day, just like with this music evoking both extremes in one’s day happy and bright or sad and grey.
The touch of music is the way your body moves.
…swaying hands
….snapping fingers
…tapping toes
….dancing feet
Even the earth moves with the sound of music…
Some would argue that music is an evil force working to destroy our society. I certainly agree there is corruption in some types of music, but not all music is wicked. Like all things, God placed the love of music within each of us as far back as the beginning of time.
“Why didn’t you tell me, so I could send you away with joy and singing to the music of tambourines and harps? ~Genesis 31:27
The Bible makes many references to music and I believe our God who loves music so must have wanted us to love it, too. The power of music is really a beautiful thing. Come on now and feel that beat!

Music always speaks directly to my heart, too.
Sometimes it feels so painful I can’t even listen to it!
Thanks for sharing this.
I love so many of these songs, too!

I love music…it’s calming soothing uplifting romantic and many other things. Then, of course, it can be irritating and disturbing too…just depends on what you like and the mood you’re in.

Cathy, music hits me on so many levels, some of which I try not to even address at times, so I look to spiritual songs. To feel happy and uplifted how about “God is not finished with me yet”, “One day at a time” “On the wings of a dove”? And I could go on and on. He is my strength and my foundation.
Zoner is completely free unless you want the more expensive version but I am thrilled with both Zoner and Photoscape as they are. I still want to know what the plants are called though. 🙂

Some music makes me cry, just because it is so beautiful.
It might remind me of my father’s favorite tunes, or what my mother used to play on the piano as I was going to sleep. I have my exercise and walking music (upbeat and Classic Rock) and my reading music (classical).
There are some songs which remind me where I was, like traveling in a car going cross-country as a girl. Amazing! {:-D

Yes, music soothes the soul, the moods, and the occasions. I like the ones you’ve chosen!

Mmmm nice…Music is my second skin♫♪ I still can’t help singing along when I hear Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Breakaway’and Maroon 5’s ‘She will be loved’. Right now I’m still enjoying Adele’s songs♫

What makes me come alive is anything by the Temptations.
What makes me sad is … well, I guess I don’t listen to music that makes me sad. I like music that makes me reflective but is still uplifting.
What music fills me with inspiration? Be Still My Soul and Come Thou Fount.

Hi Cathy ~~ Nice “M” word. I like music but we don’t play it around the house when both of us are home. Mrs. Jim likes ‘easy listening’ stuff. I prefer 60’s, 70’s, and early 80’s, also classic rock.
1. Name a song, what music makes me you come alive?
Proud Mary as that was the our favorite dancing song while we were dating. Also most any of the Eagles songs
2. Name a song, what music makes you really sad?
I don’t listen to sad songs. I suppose a few of the Elvis songs because they remind me of my first MIL. She had a crush on him. [BTW, Mrs. Jim went to one of his live concerts.]
BONUS: Name a song, what music feels you with inspiration?
Because He Lives and He Lives. I will have Because He Lives sung at my funeral also to help inspire those still living.
Now my question: Do you remember “Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road?“
