Lately I have been CRAVING music. It could be described as an almost unquenchable hunger for music.
The funny thing is for quite a long time before this, I honestly haven't really enjoyed music. I tolerated it, but it didn't really move me. I was fairly apathetic toward. I could take it or leave it just as well.
Lately I have been reminded how powerful and enjoyable music really can be though. It feels as though I am tasting music for the very first time. Almost as if I were waking up from some slumber and listening again for the very first time.
I'm kinda picky about the sound though. It has got to be something upbeat and alive. Something that makes you want to dance and sing. But it needs to be passionate and powerful too; it can't be something that is easily forgotten as soon as it is over. And yes words are important too. I guess it would be easy to sum it by saying I am looking for music which glorifies God AND helps me to enjoy Him more.
But that doesn't mean the songs must be only about worship in the literal sense either. I think songs about life are beautiful too. Songs about love and sadness. Songs about children and work. These aren't UNchristian. My entire life is supposed to be an act of worship. That includes everything... from the mundane to the beautiful.
