Music has power. You don’t think so? In other days, armies marched with a song. In biblical times, music played such an important part that kings were instructed to send singers in front of an army. Guess what? The enemies were so taken off guard, they didn’t know what to do.
King Saul was comforted when David played the harp. Remember the old saying, “Music calms the savage beast?” There’s truth in that statement.
Just a thought for the upcoming Presidential debate. What if one of the candidates marched onstage to a recording of “Hail to the Chief”? (Of course, this would have to be kept secret until the last minute because it might be frowned upon.)
During the discussion, when a candidate mentions all the freebies that will come if elected, the opposing person could sing, “Somewhere, Over the Rainbow.”
Instead of a deadly dull debate or heated arguments, music would put everybody in a good mood. Why, Democrat and Republican might even take a spin around the floor of the stage to the strains of, “Till I Waltz Again with You.”
To finish it off, candidates, moderator, families of candidates could form a chorus line on stage and perform a lively can-can to “Happy Days Are Here Again.”
Now, wouldn’t that be different and interesting? Music can lighten moods, brighten thoughts, and maybe even sharpen wits. Who knows what would result from this kind of entertaining debate?
I think I need another cup of coffee.
