Interview:
Music is truly the language of the soul. It moves us beyond our separate beliefs and backgrounds into a place of shared human experience. One song can move people, from Beijing to Brazil, to dance, to kiss, to cry, and to smile. Music gets us out of our heads and into our whole being. It moves our bodies. It makes us feel. It’s fun. It inspires. It bridges the invisible to the visible. It joins the spirit to the body.
Music, like other great art, is one of the best things us humans do. It brings out the best in us. It expresses the best within us. It unites and connects, uplifts and empowers. Music transcends our daily routines. It enlightens us. Its vibrations can actually make us lighter. Music is found in every culture and enjoyed by all ages. No philosophy, government, or religion can communicate what is most true for all of us better than music. Music is the song of the soul.
“No philosophy, government, or religion can communicate what is most true for all of us better than music. Music is the song of the soul.”
– Scott Johnson, Executive Director of the Positive Music Association
