Music Quote

Paul and I just finished watching, "The Music Never Stopped," a movie based on the true experiences of a young man whose brain was damaged by a tumor and how music helped heal his brain and served as a link for his memory. I highly recommend it as a reminder of the incredible power of music and its effect on people's brains and souls. As a chorus, we bring this kind of amazing power to those who listen. Here's a quote I found while doing a little research about the power of music (author unknown):

 

I AM MUSIC

Servant and Master am I; Servant of those dead and Master of those living. Through me, spirits of immortals speak the message that makes the world weep and laugh, and wonder and worship. I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves, and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men are dying with me on their lips. I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open, I stand nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of the lovers, and through the dead, whisper to the living. One I serve as I serve all, and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the fields, the crash of water on rock-ribbed shores. I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers: I am the father of the best that is in them, and they are the father of the best that is in me. I am the instrument of God. I AM MUSIC.
