My Thoughts on Music- An introduction into my mind

There are many wonderful things in life that I believe we take for granted. Whether It’s the relationships we get to have in life, the ability to form our own thoughts and opinions, or the sunset we get the pleasure of seeing every 24 hours, I believe God shows us his artistry and attention to detail through the world around us. Although there are many things on His earth that I believe bring him praise, one of his most magnificent works of art, in my opinion, is music.
Music is strong. It is bold. It can move. It has the power to evoke an extensive range of emotion, from the deepest kind of depression to a pure, euphoric joy. It is a type of art that can spark imagination, inspire, and entertain. It has the power to wake you up and put you to sleep. It can be played at weddings and funerals. The unique ability music has to be relevant at any given point in time, is well worth my highest praise and appreciation.
Besides being one of the most brilliant, timeless, inventions of God’s, music also unites. It is a universal understanding that absolutely everyone, young or old, rich or poor, from every nation and culture dating as far back as the biblical age can comprehend and relate to. Music is universal, and it is because everyone can appreciate some type of melody or song, it threads a common ground through all of mankind. From the folk songs of the Irish, to Mexican mariachi bands, the rich culture that drips from music, should be greatly admired.
Music can outwardly bring praise to God, through different hymns and worship songs, or more subtly pay homage to his brilliance, through the complexity and genius of composers and musicians all over the world. I believe God is praised when you do what he creates you to do, and for me, it is music. Hearing the musical talent of artists all over the world reminds me that God himself gets pleasure and joy from seeing me sing. Because a singing voice is strictly God-given, when I sing, I believe it brings him glory. And to me, that deserves my praise.
I believe music, and everything it is, should be praised. From Queen to Pavrotti, I believe the vast musical spectrum is wide enough for everyone to find a song they think deserves praise as well.
