Why is Music Important?

Why is music important? It's something that is seen my most people I've talked to as something a lot like food. Some people have a taste for that while others have a taste for that. And I agree. Music is a lot like food. There is bad food and there's good food. For example I'd say rhubarb soup with the leaves and all would be considered bad. In fact you'd get sick from it.
Now rhubarb stems chopped up and made into a salad would be considered good food. Good for your body.

Some people might not have a taste for either of the dishes mentioned, but somebody else might. Does that mean it's good?

Take smoking cigarettes for example. Everybody knows it's unhealthy (read bad) but some people do it because they have developed a taste for it. Does that mean it's good? No.

But for some reason a lot of these people believe everybody has a taste for different music and it's all good. These people are also, usually addicted to poison.

Music has power. It controls the emotions and effects your Spirit. Play a certain kind of music and you can be inviting an evil spirit. Play another kind and you could be inviting a peaceful spirit. Play another kind and you could be inviting a spirit that will cause you to jump cliffs and commit suicide.
You may observe this at will.

Just a food can make you sick or keep you healthy, music is exactly the same way. You choice of music effects your mental and emotional health.
And just as it is possible to become addicted to that which is unhealthy, it is possible, and common for people to become addicted to unhealthy, if not wicked music. Just as one must go on a fast to regenerate oneself. You must go through a mental cleansing over time, in order to get your body used to that which is good once again.

The effects are amazing.

What is good music? First, follow your heart. In the most literal sense. Does the beat follow the rhythm of your heart beat?
Second, make sure the melody is foremost, then harmony, and lastly rhythm.
Third, does the music bring honour to your Creator? Does it lift your spirit?
