Just Press Play

Music is life. It makes it worth living.

What a feeling

Vibe
A Trance
What a wonder
What summons a dance
Summons the day
Takes me away
Takes me to the place
Disheartedness fades
So many ways
So many feelings
A wonderful haze
Background noise
Life...in a sense
But put to a beat
Now shivers commence
Passion
Love
Anger
Hate
Wonder
Tears
God
Fate
It's nothing
But everything
Makes us go
Music is life
It strengthens the soul
Music brings God
To your mind
Through your ears
It loosens your muscles
And eases your fears
Give me a soundtrack
I'll forge through today
Build me a playlist
And please
Just press play...

I like it.

Nit-picking: "Music brings to mind God"
Unless I'm writing a piece specifically designed around theology, I've always been someone who avoids mentioning 'God' or 'the arcane' etc directly. I prefer to allow people to make their own conclusions about where something takes them.

For example, when I think of music I think of Life. Energy. Raw Power. I think of nature and neurons and electricity. I think of Women leaping and fish darting. I think of ravers and black lights and lipstick flavored beer.

Music brings to mind what IS. God is what could be. And yes, this could be different for another reader, which is exactly my point.
