Spirits Have Spoken

Music is a gift. You either have it, or you want to have it, not either you have it or you don't. Everyone has music in them, but only some have the ability to perform/express it in a way most people find intriguing. Johann Sebastian Bach is an example of those few prodigies that very clearly have the gift of music.

Classical music is not my style of expertise, nor is it for many people, but not all of it is so boring you feel like you're in a high school classroom sleeping during a lesson. Bach is a real inspiration to a large number of composers. Bach not only had a connection/gift with music but with God.

Bach was so incredibly close to God, and faithful, he has underlying messages in his music. He would position his notes in his compositions to form a cross to show not only his listeners that are unaware of this but God of his faith. In a more literal term, every lyric in Bach's choral pieces translated from Latin into passages from the Holy Bible or worship lines for God.

Bach, as many current artists, had a close connection to a "spirit" telling them to share their talents with the Earth in their honor. Bach had a deeper connection with the Catholic God and showed that in little, subconscious ways. Similarly, a high percentage of artists we all listen to today believe something has lead them in the direction to perform and compose music for the entertainment of others.

Music is something to be taken seriously. "Artists" such as BrokeNCYDE are the type most reviewers call a disgrace to the gift few people possess. Either you have the deep, spiritual connection to music or you want it.
