When the Music Runs Out (what if your too young to retire?) →

- RSS

What happens when the music runs out? Do musicians retire when that happens?  Louis Armstrong said musicians don't retire; they only stop when no more music is left in them. Is it possible that we may reach the point when we have no more pieces left in us? Joan Baez will retire at the end of 2018. Will "her" ability to make music be gone? Of course not, but maybe the sound changes?

Music is a connection between our physical self and our very souls. We feel the music. It reflects our hearts and deepest feelings. 

Music with scriptures is hymns. We worship through hymns. The feelings of our heart are conveyed in verbal prayer, so perhaps prayer is a form of music? 

Our bodies and faces reflect images of happiness and sadness, and music opens those feelings. Singing makes us better. Sometimes we sing for what we long for. We use music to help us get by without things wanted.

When the music is gone, maybe we have left and gone somewhere with us, hopefully, to find the piece.
