I know exactly what you mean about the passion... sometimes I get REALLY into what i'm performing or writing that i'll even get too emotional to continue. Music is just another layer of the soul and i'm so glad people ages ago figured out how to do it! I highly suggest taking up violin again or trying something new. I tried guitar just because I was curious (originally I play piano and sing) and I just love learning new things on the guitar! Thanks for sharing these thoughts Ben! Music is what makes me, me.

I love Yo-Yo Ma for the feeling instilled in me listening to him play cello. I love the passion in Mariza's voice when she is singing. Clapton's guitar playing is still the best. A friend played in a great ska band when in high school, they cut a CD. They toured locally, got gigs, split up when it was time to go to college. He has not picked up his trumpet in 12 years. He has two children who've never heard him play. In fact, he says, they don't even know he ever played an instrument. Exactly.

I used to play it and I've been told I was quite talented, but I stopped, because of my laziness and the complicated situation my family was in at the time. Every time I hear someone play their heart out on the piano I get all tingly inside. And every time someone butchers the instrument I want to smack them in the head with a sock full of bricks. :P I feel a little sad every time I sit behind a piano myself, because I can play just about four and a half songs and those are second grade level. Music is beautiful. I feel the same way about the piano.

I have, my entire life, wanted to learn how to play the violin. Unfortunately, my school did not have the vilion, so i was picked to play the flute. Not nearly as moving as the violin. It's an instrument you can lose yourself in. I agree wholeheartedly with everyone you said[i usually do.].

Everytime I hear "Nearer, my god, to thee" played well on a violin I truly feel it in the depths of my soul. Thanks for this post boh3m3, and hopefully we will get another one before the month is out. I agree with all of this, the saxophone when played passionately moves me as well.

There is something haunting about a talented musician who can really put their heart and soul into their music. As i cannot truly play anything, (i can pick notes out on a piano, but that's not really much to write home about) I am truly envious and in awe of those with real talent. I wholly agree.

As a musician and being one who appreciates music, you always get that little tingling sensation when someone is playing from their soul. It's getting fewer and farther between nowadays, especially on radio and the more conventional means of encountering music, but there are always a few out there who still play from the heart and give a little bit of their soul with every note they play.

I saw you were thinking of learning again, I think you should... Sadly, I can't play an instrument. I wish I had that avenue of self-expression; it seems to me to be the most direct route to hearing someone's soul. Seems unfair that it's denied to me, but then I've never put the work in.
