....because...
- It makes me happy =)
- When I'm down, it always manages to soothe my soul. Esp when I'm 'forced' to sing along. (e.g. during worship services etc)
- I love the way melody interweaves with harmony and blends with the accompaniment. (for songs that I can appreciate of course) It's so amazing how it all fits together so beautifully. Like poetry. I especially love duets and a cappella singing.
- It paints images in my head. Different genres of songs paint different pictures and summons different emotions and memories.
- It is able to reduce me to tears and soften my hardened heart.
- Many a times, it is a language in itself and needs no explanation.
- God has used music many times to touch my soul and to minister to me in a way I cannot explain adequately. He's used music to speak to me, address my hurts, remind me of the enormity of His love and show me a fraction of His heartbeat for the lost.
