MUSIC

I always find it interesting how much music can effect things and people. In movies music is used to set the mood, music in church helps bring the spirit, and music seems to make choirs go faster and helps to past the time. Think of your favorite movie or a movie you watched recently. the first thing you think of is probably not music but next time you watch a movie pay attention to how the music effects the movie and then try to imagine how the movie would be different without it.

I remember one Sunday wen I was still in young women's their was a fire side at Bishop Lange's house and he was telling us how big an influence music has in our lives. He put a movie on and had some old rock playing and then asked us what we thought this movie was suppose to be about. Most people replied that it was probably about war or something along that train of thought. He restarted the movie and let it play with it's normal sound and the movie was one where Christ was healing the sick. After he turned it off he said that music influences more then we know and we have to be careful of what we listen to.

Music makes life more interesting and people use it to express themselves. Music can be healing, damaging, fun, emotional, inspiring, and much more. I once tried to imagine life without music and I couldn't and thought if there was no music life would be very depressing. Like living in a black and white world, without color it's hard to appreciate the beauty .
