what i'm listening to...

i am music obsessed.  if that hasn't been apparent already, let me state it as a true blue fact. i love music.  truly, music of all kinds.  i have some embarrassing "i really don't want you to know how much i love this" tastes, and some "omigoodness this is the most amazing sounds ears can behold, how, oh how can i get this to the ears of the world so that they too can experience the glory and wonder of what i have experienced" tastes.  yes, it can be that intense.  music is such a...spiritual thing.  i feel as though that is far too cliche a thing to say, but if i didn't i think any other word would negate the power of music.  music for me, is somewhere i go to feel things, to taste and see good, to have intimacy with the Lord, with humanity, with nature...it is just so intimate.

all that to say, if for some reason you come across this, make sure you pause and listen.  listen to the melodies, to the work of the instruments, to the voice, the emotion, the intensity, the heart and soul inside each song, each verse, each movement.  and enjoy.  and for me, this is a reminder, of why music is important, of what it does for my soul, and of how it connects us, and takes us to new and deeper destinations of heart and soul.
