"Making music is one of the most spiritual things in the world. This is God's language, man, and you don't touch that shit without feeling something bigger than yourselves.

Thanks, Alan, for aritculating one of the reasons music is so amazing. Because it is God's language! Music is a big part of my enjoyment of life and my identity... it's so important to me, it brings so much joy. However I think I'm often quite shallow in how I think about it. I want to think more deeply about music, Sparhawk's quote captures some of the Source of the magic and power of music.
