so much emphasis on melody. I find the answer is that music is a more true language than any that are spoken. This is all conjecture by the way which is shaded by my own beliefs and experience. melody is one part of a trinity. equally important are rhythm and harmony. I believe that rhythm, melody and harmony relate to the body, mind and spirit respectively. Rhythm is analogous to our physical form and not just in the obvious sense of our heart beat but indeed every atom of our being has a rhythm all it's own and they are in sync one way or another with every other part of our body from microcosm to macrocosm. a coherent melody matches our thoughts in a way that can convey the colors of emotion. indeed lyrics are often set to a melody and convey thoughts and emotions together in a way that's so natural that it is sometimes quite eerie. harmony is how melodic threads relate to each other. our spirits are also the most adequate way of relating to others. harmony is the basis of all combined human endeavour and spirits are what allow us to define relations beyond familial in an abstract way in which we can intuitively find our own place.
