Music From The Heart

I'm a huge fan of music. There's not a day that goes by that I don't take time to sit back and listen to a tune. It sticks with you like the perfect glue that holds your day together. It stays in your head throughout the day, you keep running through the lyrics, right or wrong, helping you get through that certain job or research paper or even cleaning the house. Musicians can really get wrapped up in the glamor and riches that coincides with the fame. It kinda ruins the music after a while when you think about it, lyrics lose their meaning when a multi-millionaire is singing about hard times and lonely nights. But when you hear street singers singing of faith and hope it kinda puts it all in perspective. They play for nickles instead of hundreds of thousands of dollars. They play for pride instead of fame. They play for respect instead of envy. They play for themselves instead of everyone else. I can't really describe the feeling these guys leave on me after watching them perform, it just leaves me speechless. I'm sure it will do the same to any man or woman with a heart. Its simply beautifully warming. They say a painting can tell you a story, that of a novel. Well I say music can paint the most beautiful picture with just a few words.
