“Convert the Non-believers” By: C-VERSE
The dictionary defines religion as:A collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and moral values, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the universe which derive morality and ethics.
Music the universal language and speaks to us all on multiple levels, valued by many as a “religious” experience. Like religion it has devout followers and practitioners. It can preach emotion, opinions, beliefs and thoughts. It can empathize with your pain, need, sadness, anger, and loss. Music can even perform exorcisms. It lets you purge. It lets you feel free, vindicated and understood. It won’t ever leave you. There is music that can give you something to believe in again, tell you not to give up and believe in you. It does not discriminate. It won’t refuse to play for you, soothe you or comfort you. Gotta love how that music rolls. That sweet talkin’ sound to soothe our souls.
