Music and Mood


So...I'm listening to music as I write this.  I had no idea what I was going to write about when I sat down...as usual.  But then I started "feeling" the mood of the music and I had a random thought: Why and how does music effect us?

The song I'm listening to is "Come save" by Sarah Reeves.  It's a good song.  Go listen to it.

It's making me feel inspired, elevated, and thoughtful.  It times like these that I get a glimpse of just how awesome and wonderful God really is.  Such a great God is He!

Without Him, we would be, quite literally, nothing.

Ahh, the internet has stopped working and my music is no longer playing.  I hate our internet.

Yay!  It's back up!

Now I'm listening to "Boat song" by J J Heller.  Sweet song.

Makes me feel like a child and an old wise person at the same time.  Weird.  Yet wonderful.

I think people listen to music different ways.  For me, it's more about the tune, the sound, the melody.  I like the words too, and some songs just wouldn't be the same without them.  However, I tend to base my preference for a song based on how the melody made me feel.  Not the words.

My sister, Miranda, now she likes the words.  She can't understand the deep soul feeling I get when I listen to the violin strums of Lindsey Stirling's songs.

She would rather hear the words and base her feelings for the song off those.

I wonder why God made us like and appreciate different types of music?

Musical thoughts.
