God respects me when I work, but He loves me when I sing.
—Rabindranath Tagore

Music makes pictures and often tells stories, all of it magic and all of it true. And all of the pictures and all of the stories, and all of the magic, the music is you.
—John Denver
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.
—Oliver Wendell Holmes

Song Lyrics. Do you ever hear a song, like it a lot, but can't quite understand all the words, no matter how many times you've heard it played? Visit Google, type in the name of the song, the name of the artist (if you know it) and the word "lyrics." You'll then usually find multiple links to online musical databases that have the lyrics to that very song!
