It always amazes me how powerful songs are. A good song can transcend the hard outer core of any situation and get to its nucleus. Once there it penetrates and that singular song molecule multiplies and spreads throughout your entire body. I thank God each moment for the gift of being musically inclined. Music gets me through so much. Its indescribeable. Life just wouldn’t be the same without the ability to create and share it. One of my missions in life is to do this a lot more than I do it now. I will allow God to guide me in the method which I should disperse my musical gems, but I do intend to share them with people more.

The factor about music that has inspired this random rambling of my mind is the relevance of a song. It has always amazed me that no matter how much you love a song, it doesn’t resonate as much until you’ve either experienced the events it speaks of, are currently in that situation, or have just come out of that scenario. For example, a love song just isn’t a love song until you hear the words and actually pray that God allow your emotions to travel to the person for whom they’re felt.  It’s monumental to have a tangible equivalent to the intangible beauty that is a song.

I have recently been confronted by many songs of old that I grew to love dearly in my youth. They now take on new meaning. I can better relate. I am now fully engaged in their realms. I am completely overcome by their current relevance. Life is so very short. It is often far shorter than we realize. In the blink of an eye, you’re sitting in the midst of friends taking your turn on the “i remember when” train. I am determined to fill my train with passengers worthy of travel through my mind. These passengers consist of but are not limited to God, family,friends, love, laughter, fun, diligence, freedom, respect, and several others. Tomorrow is not a promised day. The past remains to be itself while the future is yet to be seen. All I have is now, so I will virtually stock my IPOD (which I intend to purchase one day) with a soundtrack appropriate for the passengers on my train to indulge in.
