We willingly starve and suffocate our hearts by turning away form the remembrance of God.

And then we wonder why our heart feels dead.
The only form of music is melody, without melody music is not feasible, and music and melody are quite inseparable.

What quality is shared by all objects that provoke our aesthetic emotions? Only one answer seems possible— significant form. In each, lines and colors combined in a particular way; certain forms and relations of forms, stir our aesthetic emotions.

Usually it's lyric first, but sometimes it's melody. And I carry a hand-held recorder everywhere I go so I can just hum or whistle a melody if one hits me. Sometimes it's both simultaneously - lyric and melody at the same time - those are a little confusing to me, but sometimes it comes in that form. I just feel like I have my own little radio station and sometimes the static clears and something beams in from out there.
We'd lie on the floor, turn the lights out, put two speakers on either side of our ears, and try to blow our minds with music.
