Powerful Symphonies

Words.

Music.

Art.

A message hidden within.

Today I have been overwhelmed by the power music has to move your soul. I, like Leo Tolstoy, Jenae and Frou Frou, believe that art and music and the recipient of it should be brought to the same sense of wonder, despair, or tears as the artist when they created it. It is a beautiful connection of mankind that can span generations and last a lifetime.

I don't know what is going on in your life today but whether you are in need of encouragement or thriving in blessing, I'd like to offer these three thoughts from three different (very different) artists that were given to me by people I hold dear.

1. Watch How You Go. By Keane.

Life  journeys on from one place to the next and it is your and my responsibility to guard carefully the life that we have been given despite what is left behind for we cannot know what lies ahead but we can control how we use the time that is now.

The more we rush about, the less we do...just watch how you go and be gracious with your light...the things that we have shared will soon be left behind now.

2. The Dumbing Down of Love. By Frou Frou.

Is there anything more heart breaking than a lover without love?

Love underwhelms you, no box of chocolates...music is worthless unless it can make a complete stranger break down and cry...lover alone without love, will you miss him?

3. I Don't Feel Like Dancin'. By Scissor Sisters.

I don't really think this one is as profound but in a sense, it reminds me that this is my life to lead and the only one I've got so whether I dance or not, or whether you stay or not I will be fine! And I will dance to "don't feel like dancin" until the sun goes down.

Wake up in the morning with a head like 'what ya done?' This used to be the life but I don't need another one.

What music resonates with you?
