the hills are alive

One of my favourite movies of all time is the sound of music. Its one of those timeless classics that reminds you how old you must be to remember them.

I just love classic movies, i never tire of them and this one tells a tale of love but not in the modern way we have become so accustom to but the old traditional way where you don't need to sleep with the girl you fancy to know that it is love.

Anyway, i like this particular song because of what it brings to mind when i listen to it; nostalgia, good thoughts, the great outdoors rapidly disappearing. Some day we may be like those bloated folks on board the axiom floating out in space, sucking on our cups, never wondering about anything while robots attend to our every needs even those trivial ones. {if you're scratching your head wondering what i'm talking about, you should watch wall*e, wonderful movie}




The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more.

Why can't modern songs make you feel like appreciating God's creation?
