I used to think God only liked organ music.
Music is a sacred, a divine, a God-like thing, and was given to man by Christ to lift our hearts up to God, and make us feel something of the glory and beauty of God, and of all which God has made.
I think God is the most unexplored territory in rock and roll music.
Where there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.
The bells themselves are the best of preachers, Their brazen lips are learned teachers, From their pulpits of stone, in the upper air, Sounding aloft, without crack or flaw, Shriller than trumpets under the Law, Now a sermon and now a prayer.
My entrance to music was singing gospel in church, and to hear that gospel language in a hip-hop song was cool.
I'd like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls.
For bells are the voice of the church; They have tones that touch and search The hearts of young and old.
As some to church repair, Not for the doctrine, but the music there. These equal syllables alone require, Though oft the ear the open vowels tire While expletives their feeble aid do join, And ten low words oft creep in one dull line.
The cosmos is a complex amalgamation of sounds. One of the key sounds through which you can experience the cosmic nature of creation is Shambho.
