The Bible and Music

Over Spring Break, I visited New York City for the first time in my life. It was an unforgettable experience in a city that has so much life to offer. A city that is incomparable to any other. When I returned from my trip, my family flooded me with questions and frequently asked me to show them pictures of my encounter. The first picture and video that I always seemed to show them was of the bands that were playing throughout the Subway in the city. The chaotic environment of fast-moving trains and business people rushing to work seems to be the perfect place for music artists searching for their spot. Not a spot that relies on the dollar tips and quarters they receive for a good tune, but a spot for people to listen. With the busy schedule I had ahead of site seeing and basketball watching, I could not help myself to listen to the music and just enjoy it each day before I rode the Subway. The music seemed to flow throughout the whole underground building and people stayed to watch for a few minutes or some a few hours. The band that I particularly enjoyed utilized chanting in their music and told me they were all from Africa. Their dress attire was interesting to me and displayed the culture that their music embraced. The Subway offers so much to New York City, but the music is an experience that one cannot forget.
