Vanity Card #3

What is it about music? It's a biological, evolutionary, spiritual, scientific, religious phenomenon. Music seeps into our skin like strong black tea. Music opens our sanctuaries and allows them to bleed in peace. In every time signature, every change in key, every minor and major chord, we get to know ourselves a little better. Like the blues. A God given gift that mankind can drink and cry to. When it comes to the heart, there is no music more intrusive. No matter where in the world you are, if you walk into a pub and put on the blues, magically, patrons will start passing whiskey and calling their spouses. There is no limit to the ways music can move us. Metal allows us to open our chests and invigorate our spirits. Metal being my favorite genre, its fantastical principles in its arrangements perfectly stimulate the little electrons in my brain. Then there's the classics. The real classics. The royalty free classics. The symphonies and arias that seem to have been summoned on this planet by wizards for a biblical purpose. It's easy to get lost in the philosophy of music and its effect on humans. Perhaps this card has lost direction. Nonetheless, if the hairs on your arms don't raise during a face melting guitar solo, or a belt of sorrow, or a roar of brass instruments, chances are you are not really living.
