It is just the haps, the coolest place to be after 10 pm. No, I don't know this information because I'm throwing block parties with the neighbors or engaging in their late night DJ sessions. I know this because it is soo incredibly loud at night from my upstairs apartment that I can't help but assume some crazy, fun stuff is taking place.
If the sounds aren't lovely yelling or a screeching car accident, it's music.
I'll have friends over hanging in my living room (even with the windows closed) and a car will come by, bumping music so loud we all just stop and look at each other with wide eyes. Haha I am not lying to you. I also get invited almost everyday to a rave being thrown on my neighbors lawn which I haven't gone to yet...
All this information really doesn't have that much purpose, it just came into my mind when I thought about music.
I don't care who you are. Every one enjoys some sort of music.
Take a moment and just think about what music even is. Singing? It's so natural to us, but it's talking with longggg pronouncedd melodies? Paired with beats, and interments. crazy
There's not an easy way to describe it, except the simple fact that music does something to the soul!
There's the kind that gets your heart racing, and makes you feel like you're the baddest, coolest person on the planet.
The songs that make you fall straight into love (even if you have no one in mind).
The music that can have you fall asleep, dreaming in 5 seconds.
The classical instrumental stuff that puts melodies and notes together that your heart couldn't even fathom.
The sweet country tunes that make you dream of a better world.
The unbelievable techno beats that take control of your limbs and won't let your body stop moving, even if you want to.
There's that girly feel good music that you play with your windows down, that makes you feel like nothing in your life can go wrong.
Some songs feel like they were written so perfectly for you in that very moment. "NO WAY. NO WAY CAN SOMEONE ELSE BE FEELING EXACTLY HOW I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW!!!!"
Some music has the ability to make you feel hard and invincible, while others can cut you straight to the core, making you feel so soft.
Then there's those different songs that can pull you so unbelievable back into a certain memory, time, or place. Literally that song comes on, and you are immediately transported back to all the different feelings you felt, and events that took place when you used to listen to it over and over. (It can be a bit frightening)
And so much more!
You know why movies are often so good? Yes a good story line helps, but it's the music they play in the background that makes your emotions come alive. Can you imagine a movie played in complete silence? HA we'd all walk out so quick.
I always wish my life could have a continual sound track playing in the background, playing a perfect song for every different moment.
To say God is wise, is an unbelievable understatement, but He is.
He thought up a way to not only bring us joy through our ears, an element that makes our bodies move into dance, but a way to open up our hearts beyond our own control.
Music does that. Whether your opening up your heart to trashy stuff and letting it take over, or to good uplifting stuff that can feed you. Music has the ability to shape our hearts in a way that books, creation, or people just can't. It's totally unique.
Every different culture on this planet has a way to express themselves through some type of beautiful melodies.
God created it that way because it allows different parts of our souls to come alive, and gives us a whole different way to praise Him.
