Words. Words are more than just what we use to communicate. Words are how we think; do you hear that inner voice reading this to you? Think of any concept and you find your brain putting it into words, like a lecture to yourself. Concepts are more often than not expressed in common metaphor. Poetry is uncommon metaphor and where we find words and conceptsamplifies or mystified to our infinite delight.

Music vibrates pleasure centers in the mind, rhythm pulses the body’s natural rhythms of fluids and electrical currents, we can hardly stop ourselves from bobbing or tapping.

The words lie in Broca’s area of the brain, the music in the primary auditory cortex, which is surrounded by Wernike’s area , the secondary location for words.

Now set poetry to music, A song, and the whole brain lights up. Our brains are truly designed to delight in songs, and the music industry exploits this to their immense benefit. And when we all sing in chorus, what would church be without song, it’s one of the most effective ways of uniting in community and/or brainwashing.
