Day 20: I am THANKFUL for ...Music (songs, lyrics, artist, genre)

 

I am THANKFUL for MUSIC. MUSIC has a way of speaking directly to whatever emotion that is in your spirit.  It can make you laugh, cry and make you feel real good. I am THANKFUL that music can convey what’s in your heart and soul no matter the circumstance. I am THANKFUL that there is variety in MUSIC.  I am THANKFUL for all sorts of music such as gospel, r&b, jazz, soul, neo soul, classical even country.  I am THANKFUL for hyms, catatas, spirituals and duets. I am THANKFUL for harmonies, instrumentations and the story telling. I am THANKFUL that music is pastoral, melodic, progressive and or recitative.

I am THANKFUL that MUSIC doesn’t see race or color.  I am THANKFUL that MUSIC doesn’t fuel hate.  I am THANKFUL that MUSIC can be an escape.  I am THANKFUL that MUSIC just is.
