Music is a hard topic to tackle in just one post, we'll see how I do.. maybe there will be another post...?.
whenever I listen to music, i can't help but tap my foot to the rhythm or start singing along..... but why?
if your emotions are neutral at the time, they will generally fall in to sync with the song.
but if your sad, you will generally pick a sad song to listen to, same goes if you're happy. why?
because how you're feeling inside is supposed to match what's going on around you outside.
making music: I like playing music, what's my fascination with music?why do people want to play an instrument or make up lyrics to a song...?
here's what I think... we want to be G-d. or at least be like him.......
meaning, G-d creates, so whenever we create music.... we're acting like G-d!
I'll take it a step further, you want the song that you create, to be like you! so the song is the
ultimate expression of ones self, it's almost as if, it IS a part of him/her.
I'll probably have another post (on music) ....... thank you Yossi for your laptop!

You know, the Rav says something about Godliness being the ability to create. He doesn't talk about it in the context of output (like music) - more like our ability to create ourselves.
