“If the world is a coloring book, music is the crayon. If the world is a canvas, music is the paint. Music brings color and joy to this life. To me, music is much more than mere entertainment. Music has the ability to bring joy to a saddened soul; make someone laugh out loud; or bring peace into a stressful life. A well written song can get a person thinking about more than themselves, as well as inspire deep soul searching. Songs are a means of sharing philosophical and even religious thoughts. Imagine trying to feel patriotism without a national anthem. Imagine trying to remember your wedding dance without a wedding song. Imagine a worship service without hymns. Imagine Christmas without carols. Music is the God-given tool that enables us to experience this life more deeply. Anything that can increase a person’s happiness, or inspire a change of heart, I see as a worthy endeavor; and that is how I see music.”
