Musical notes, tones, frequencies or beats puts our hearts under spell, making it beat with rhythm and liveliness.
It the language of human heart and quality for human ears.
Heart doesn’t know the language of words and reason.
It is not for nothing that vocational courses like Learn Guitar or Learn Piano are so much sought after ones.
Words as their sheer meanings do not affect us and fall flat on ears but the ways one sounds them certainly leave their imprints direct on our hearts.
But not every sound passes to be a quality for ears!
Is it some sort of repetitive pattern of sound in certain order that sounds to carry some quality or beauty to ears?
As words sounds hollow if used without the quality of substance or passion one speak with, sound also doesn't sound cool enough if it misses the subtle quality.
Sense of missing will rule until quality prevails!
The missing void longing for fulfillment!
Exactly like life awareness which in all of us feels something missing, longing for the completeness every moment!
In the creative process of playing with sound beats great-musicians are often embark upon a pursuit to catch this subtle rhythmic beauty of higher awareness; that is latent and elusive. Exactly like a sage practicing meditation for the spiritual pursuit.
This beauty for ears can catch that subtle fine latent line of spiritual life for all of us with much ease.
A certain subtle and orderly accent and decent flow pattern of sound sounds so fulfilling and touch those soft feelings in us so effortlessly that the best juggling of words fail to do.
It induces that sense of completeness, fills that void of missing and brings us near to the infinite even if for those few moments.
Only music can reach there where the river of higher life in us is flowing and this is what makes it such a craved and revered thing in our lives.
This quality of ears only can express it with such subtlety.
It plays as sweet expression of love when the lover hearts beat, turns into explosive expression when the spirit of freedom plays it in revolutionary spirits and comes out as a divine expression when compassionate heart of saints sigh for humanity!
In its effect on us it is healing, appealing, soothing, inspiring, spiritual, seducing and many more…
That is why music therapy as brainwave entrainment or brainwave synchronization is so much instrumental not only for addressing our physical mental health but can take us on a higher level of awareness to undergo a experience much intense than we, in ordinary life do.
Sound frequencies such as binaural beats, monaural beats, and isochronic tones are used for delta meditation, relaxation, creativity, astral projection, lucid dreaming, shaman, insomnia, hypnosis, serotonin, energy, focus and much more...
It plays all the moods and colors of life be it ecstasy or be it depression.
Its beats express the pain of longing for freedom, pain of disappointment, pain of loneliness, pain of never-satisfied love and everlasting pain of monotony.
And like different moods it also offers itself in different or better say innumerable variations and forms.
Classical-music and country-music are the two conventional formats of old-music.
Classical one is sophisticated like blues which are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear whereas country music as simple as three chords and the truth.
It is one’s own experience, one’s own thoughts and wisdom.
Isn’t it amazing that a sound pattern born out of (composed by) one single individual (musician) becomes a composition that a large population of humanity so effortlessly identify itself with (that too with all craving for it) and finds it so appealing on such a large scale?!
It is so because first it is already there somewhere in our unconscious system and secondly it proves that as human there is a hell lot of common in all of us that is disguised and we never explore those similarities that connects us rather we keep seeking for difference to prove our superiority on others.
It appeals to different people in different forms depending upon the personality and mood swings one has.
Like high notes and jazz will be your choice if party is on your head.
Great songs have great-music.
Generally a great song is born with both its lyrics and music together i.e. lyricist is the musician or vice-versa and that too at the same point of time in the process of creative turbulence.
Read the lyrics of any great song and you just happen to distinguish the hidden-music intertwined so beautifully in the lyrics itself.
Here is a video playing the historic speech of Martin Luther King Jr, just listen this inspiring speech rich in poetic beauty and you happen to sense hidden-musical notes very much there in its revolutionary spirits.
And now here is another video playing a song inspired very much by this historic speech of King in which the hidden-music in the revolutionary spirits of that speech has been realized to your auditory senses.
Listen to it and you won’t be more agreeing that great-music is always already there in great poetry that great-musician realize into an audible one for us.
Famous songwriter Paul Williams’s confession - Very seldom do I write words and have somebody put the music to them. If I'm writing lyric-and-music at the same time, I usually finish the music rather quickly – add weightage to the idea that great music is born together with the song words.
There is another famous quote of Great American writer Truman Capote, as he said - To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words make.
How beautiful! And how true!
If we really listen to the sound for quality that word we speak will turn the whole life on earth into a beautiful song.
Then we not listen to the word rather we go closer to the spirit behind the words i.e. more intimate to the real intention and more close to life.
It's an explosive expression of humanity.
It's something we are all touched by.
No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves it.
Beating of a loving heart doesn’t remain a biological or mechanical beating, it has a beautiful-music with it and how beautiful is it we know only when we fall in love!
Let’s use this great gift to spread love and joy that our world divided into religious and cultural boundaries need so badly.
