Have you ever noticed how the slightest sound sets us off? Sets, at the very least, our minds into motion. How amazing is it that we have been able to channel groupings of sounds and vibrations into a medium known as music? Mathematics and physics can explain it in detail but you don't need a high school GED to know that we can literally feel music.

Three or four gentle key strokes on a piano can set a room into random, yet elegant, and fluid movements. Ballroom dancers cross their partners and exchange glances that say 'for tonight, you are mine' as they glide in flowing gowns. Like filled gloves, dancing hand in hand with their partners.

One series of strums on a guitar can evoke an amalgam emotions as a father sings a song for his daughter. With each quiver in his voice, you can tell it is becoming harder and harder, but more relieving, to sing the words he's been trying to say for years. We are more likely to embrace song than speech.
