The Meaning of The Sound of the Blues

Blues Music has meaning and depth. It's more than a sound of sorrow, or a simple four-bar beat with rhythm and rhyme. It's about life.

The meaning of Blues Music is the basically the Meaning of Life. The writers of this genre have experiences that transcend age, race, locale, time and space. These writers have experiences that all people ---  everywhere, share. So they write about it and their listeners suddenly, no longer feel alone. The listener of Blues Music becomes aware that what they are facing in life has been faced by others before, and often will be faced again by others. Wow. That's powerful.

The power of Music is Unity of People. If we can come together and share what we know and what we feel, and what we've been through, even share our thoughts, our shared experiences have the power to heal hurting hearts. So does the Music.

The sound of the Blues is soothing to the ear and soothing to the heart, and warms the soul. Next time you have the chance to hear The Blues, realize that life is precious and we as a human race of people share many of the same trials and troubles, but we ARE NEVER ALONE in them!
