WAVES
Sound is touch at a distance.
Vibrations that travel through the air and leave a literal and figurative impression on our bodies.
Some of those waves leave marks on our souls…
through our songs.
There are nearly 100 million of them in the world today.
Different styles and genres and themes and meanings –
there’s a song for any of the 27 human emotions we experience in our lives.
And each one of us is blessed with our own soundtrack, a personal mixtape that is as unique as our fingerprints. But the high notes bring us together – lifting our spirits and the hair on our arms.
The pulsing heartbeat of “Where the Streets Have No Name”.
“Scar Tissue’s” delicate invitation.
The cascading solo on “Like a Stone.”
The crescendo of “The Backseat.”
The first nine seconds of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” that changed the world…
You can hear God in those notes.
Waves of possibility and joy and release and nostalgia that cut through the world’s cacophony of jarring, discordant tumult while we stand on the beach in awe.
You can feel the possibility.
You can revel in the wonder.
You can believe again.
Who sings the words that take you back?
What are the songs that push you forward?
Make some no15e.
