"All Music is Beautiful"

I was just thinking, while listening to one of my favorite bands - The Jakes, that all music is beautiful. It really is, from genre to genre. Country is beautiful to people, metal is to people, jazz and soul and R&B is for people. The sound of music is so amazing, it can make you cry, laugh, start dancing in the middle of a quiet room, yelling your favorite lyrics, or make you sway, or maybe start a congo line or a round of the chicken dance- of course, depending on the crowd. A simple hook could get your attention and your "hooked" to the music instantaneously. Pretty cool, well I think so. Some of the greatest artists were able to leave a mark on society, or at least they get some thinking, its so cool when you can think of songs in another point of view. They are people who just want to express themselves, I can never say that's a bad thing. It's a terrific thing because you might be feeling the same, or you might be the one expressing. Music can't be invented- composed I guess could work, but just starting to drum with your pencil in a boring class- that is music, despite all the glaring stares it's music. You can't deny it. I love just about all music, or something from a specific genre. Music is a common necessity for everyone of the world, to chants -its ac ca paella, or just a great combo tape, or a new cd- which is never a bad thing. Music is a way of communicating feelings, with words and sounds- doesn't that sound like a miracle. Don't take music for granted.
