Sing (May 2)

A movie has a soundtrack because the music they use can greatly affect the way one thinks during the movie. A musical in particular is evidence of how this works as during a happy time in the film a joyful song will be sung and the audience feels that same emotion. Life itself has a soundtrack of sorts in the music that you listen to everyday. Perhaps the right song is not always playing as it seems to be doing in the movies but the songs that we sing will often strike a chord in our lives. We sing in our cars, in the shower and untold other places where we feel free to just belt out a song at the top of our lungs. We like songs not simply because of the beat or melody but because the message speaks to our inner being. You may be super white and love gangsta rap, but deep down there is some part of you that connects with that genre of music, either the difficulties of life or the desires in what they seek. For some reason is seems that musicians are able to say things in songs that they sing that one might not be able to say otherwise. To be able to sing something is to be able to reach deep down in the soul and say something that may be true but where the mind may not be able to come up with the right words. To sing is something great and truly unique in the way it can go so deep.
