The Gift of Music - Change the World?

Music has the power to touch souls, bring tears to your eyes from emotions so raw that you wonder where it came from. After all, its just music? Right? Wrong.... Music does have the power to change people. Music is the one universal language that all mankind understands. Not only do we all understand it, we can feel it to our bones. Every emotion that man can feel, he can illustrate with music. All music speaks to everyone with ears to hear it, including animals. There is a song for every mood, every emotion and every culture has the ability to understand the music from another culture whether or not they understand the culture itself.

One man has set out to attempt to unite the world through music. In this beautiful video, he has done just that. This, is of course only one small part of what he is doing but in listening to the interview with Bill Moyers you will have a better understanding. I hope you appreciate it as much as I did and many thanks to
Willow at "Life at Willow Manor", where I found it first. Check this out:

What a great video, it really illustrates the bonding power of music. It stops people in their tracks of fragmenting distractions by bringing their awareness to the present, allowing the natural flow of deep emotions, and inspiring the peaceful benevolence of togetherness.
