Everybody is running away from the monsters.
Everybody is running away from the monsters.
In order, they’re running away from the giant, radioactive dinosaur from “Beast from 20,000 Fathoms,” and they’re running away from the giant, radioactive octopus from “It Came From Beneath The Sea,” and they’re running away from the giant but strangely not radioactive scorpions from “The Black Scorpion,” and they’re running away from the giant radioactive mutant iguana from “Godzilla,” and they’re running away from whatever the heck Cloverfield was from “Cloverfield.”
“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
Revelation 13:4
“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
Revelation 13:11-12
I’m not running away from the monsters.
The book of Genesis from the Bible is one of the oldest books on Earth. Music gets mentioned very, very early in that book.
I’ve posted that if we count birds—because they sing!—music gets mentioned at the very beginning: Singing Is For The Birds
Actual human music is mentioned in chapter four:
And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. His brother’s name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute.”
— Genesis 4:20-21
Harp and flute! Harps and flutes both are still around!
Now, I can’t play a harp, but a guitar, sort of, is just a six-string harp and I can, sort of, play guitar.
I don’t know what the beasts are up to. And I don’t know who is like the beasts and who can make war with them.
But I know what a melody is and I’ve just ordered a really good metronome (yeah, I bought one) so I’ll be able to practice keeping the beat.
Harps and flutes have been around for a long, long time. Almost since the beginning of time.
Harps and flutes must be good for something.
I’m getting better with melodies and keeping the beat and I’m going to find out. About the harp, at least. (And I’m always on the look-out for a flute player.)
Look! Other people are giving it a shot, too!
