I react emotionally to music. A song has the power to move me to tears - or even to get me out of my seat and dancing, which, if any of you have ever seen me dance, is not a pretty sight. A song can lead me to rage, or calm me when I am stressed.
I am rarely more angry than when the “music industry” trample with heavy feet upon something as precious to me as music.
Songs are not a commodity to be mass produced in the service of global capitalism. Songs connect us to God.
