Music

I’m including this page on my website entitled “Music” because music is a very big part of my life. I oftentimes can climb aboard a song and travel through my life and reflect on different times whether they are happy or sad.

On one level, I enjoy the makeup of music.  I can hear music pretty well in my head and I like to hear all the instruments of a song blending and harmonizing, even if it is just in the background.  There are songs where hearing a small, short insignificant riff way back in the music somewhere makes the entire song for me because of how that riff affects me. But to be honest with you, if that was all there was to music, it would be far less of an attraction to me.

The most powerful aspect of music is how it can reach right into your soul and spirit and speak out the unsayable things in your heart.  It’s like praying in the Spirit where the Bible tells us, “the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;” Of course, in the case of music, there ARE words, but like praying in the spirit, music reaches deeper. That is what REALLY ministers to me in music.  I think this is because God originally invented music as a vehicle for us to communicate to Him in the Spirit.  The Bible tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people and the most powerful way His people praise Him is in music. I truly believe this.  As much as I love how music can express my most inward and unexpressible feelings, I believe the real reason for music is to give us a miraculous channel to the heart of God.

And I have seen this happen among people who were free to worship God in music. I intend to give you some example of how this happens. Yes, I intend to give lots of examples of all the aspects I mentioned.

Also I have a new music category called “Deconstruction and Analysis” where complex songs are taken apart and analyzed measure by measure. This category is listed under the category “Music”.
