Speaking

Nothing speaks more directly to my soul than music and lyrics. The combination of words, melodies, harmonies, and rhythm pulls my heart to the surface. My emotions become raw and unbelievably real. I can't quite describe it, but the song can always exactly describe my music. The floating melody, the blending harmonies, the words - all of them combine to perfectly define my being at that particular moment.

Some people can study and listen to music at the same time, but that is not a possibility for me. Music distracts me. Music overwhelms me and my mind floats elsewhere. There is no concentrating when there is music on. But I wouldn't have it any other way. The way music speaks to me is worth the sacrifice.

Just like someone who is learning a new language may understand the language better than they can speak it, I feel like I understand music better than I can speak it. Music speaks to me, but I can't always seem to speak its language as fluently as I wish. But you know, that's alright. I feel entirely blessed that music speaks to me so frequently and fluently. Someday, when I can speak music fluently, I will describe to you how it makes me feel.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is music speaks to my soul and often defines me at many different moments in my life.
