Song.

The most beautiful songs can make you cry with an ineffability that is neither happy nor sad. It can melt your heart and release feelings that words alone, music alone, pictures alone can never do. Songs can make or break your spirit. For me the words of a beautiful song lift my soul and make me inhuman, angelic, for just a moment. My mind expands and my eyes see further. My body feels more. A beautiful song can be sad, it can be joyful or ethereal, comforting, it can be simple. It can even be raw and hurtful. But there is beauty in pain and there is pain in the highest beauty. It's almost too bright to look at. It's our glimpse of heaven from an earthly throne.
