There is nothing like music.

[Bouncy Ball]

Music has to be one of the most wonderful, amazing things human beings ever came up with. It alters your mood, inspires you, makes you move, makes you want to live a little bit longer just so you can hear more...and more and more and more...

1. music is the finest creation of humans

there also is nothing like good food

[Bouncy Ball]

3. I'd rank good food behind music, even.

Not in terms of survival, obviously, but good music makes me WAY happier than good food.

2. Nature makes music too

Sounds of the breeze in the willows, the trout splashing in a babbling brook, the hearty laugh of the kookaburra in the Australian outback...

[Bouncy Ball]

6. It sure does, and I'm a big fan of that kind of music, too!

:hi:

I'm also a fan of quiet. I don't find that a lot of people are nowdays and that's too bad. It's underrated. Quiet can be beautiful.

19. Oh have I got some music for you!

Looking for some fuel for the flames?

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. I agree. Along with physics and math, you can't get any closer to God

as you can through music.

[Bouncy Ball]

5. The physics and math part just made me blink a lot.

:D

But yeah, I know what you mean. I have a thing for the beauty of symmetry and patterns, would that be included in either of those categories?

[Tom Kitten]

13. yes

harmonies and scales are mathmatically based. Sounds, acoustic or electronically created, are pure physics. Plus music is about as abstract an artform as you can get.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. No, it's not about symmetry and patterns - it's that math itself is the

language of God, in my opinion. But God, being God, also uses the language of music (and dance/movement, and also visual art). Now, some of that DOES involve symmetries and patterns, of course - it's patterns that make science work. But it is not to say that symmetries and patterns are NECESSARY for Divine revelation.

And physics - physics is the study of God. Physics is better theology than most theology. (though it leaves out the ethical and moral component, obviously).

7. Music is physics and math applied on a creative and emotional level.

Better. ;)

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Ah, so I can legitimately say I am just skipping the lower

levels and going straight to the God part, right?

:D

[Floogeldy]

10. Great post!

Music is better than almost anything. :)

[WCGreen]

18. yea. you don't need to know of the science or

math to appreciate it. But it sure makes it easier to produce if you know the secrets of the temple

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. Yes!

Though some of the greats, especially some of the early greats, I'm sure didn't "know" the physics and math, at least not inthe sense that they could talk about it formulaically or in modern terms, but they knew it (and current ones know it) on an intuitive level, being able to use the language without even knowing they know it (like Harry Potter and Parseltongue), except, unlike Harry Potter, they likely didn't even know it existed.

23. Well I have been playing for thirty years...

Most of it in ignorance of the techniques needed, the craft of music...

In the last few weeks, ny ability has increased exponentially

8. As the saying goes you are "reading the mind of God!"

[leftofthedial]

15. Music IS physics and math

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Physics and math that has been run through the seive of human longing

11. the universal language

i watch alot of music video`s from across the world and we are all the same.we may speak ,dress,and live differently yet music binds us together.

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Back when I still had NWI (News World International)

they would show music videos from around the world and I loved it. The variety, the quality, the videos, it was all great. So amazing. I miss that.

[Heidi]

14. Unless it's yodeling.

Wait a minute. That's nothing like music, either. Never mind.

[merh]

16. Go listen to one of the songs at this link and tell me how

old you think the singer is. http://www.angelinasings.com/site04/mp3s.html

No cheating by reading the site.
