A Podcast Series
E6: Music
Thyme
Hello, God.
God
Hello, Thyme.
Thyme
Let’s get right to it.
God
Good.
Thyme
I been thinkin’.
God
Good.
Thyme
Who invented music?
God
Aaah …
(long pause)
Thyme
Well, is that all ya’ got ta’ say?
God
Nope.
Thyme
Then why the long pause?
God
It’s a big subject.
Thyme
Yeah, you’re right about that.
God
I’m right about everything.
Thyme
You sure are confident.
God
I am confidence.
Thyme
You’re always right about everything?
God
Yup.
Thyme
How do ya’ know?
God
Because I made everything. At least everything that’s worthwhile …
Thyme
Ya’ made music?
God
Yup.
Thyme
How’d ya’ do that?
God
With my imagination.
Thyme
Cool. I wish I could have your imagination.
God
You don’t need to wish for it. You already have it.
Thyme
I do?
God
Yup.
Thyme
You mean I could invent somethin’ as glorious as music?
God
Yup. If ya’ put your mind to it.
Thyme
But where’d ya’ get the idea for it in the first place? It jus’ came to ya’ outta the blue?
God
That’s a nice way to put it. Outta the blue …. An’ outta the gold, an outta the magenta an’ the chartreuse.
Thyme
Wow. It jus’ appeared one day?
God
I was workin’ on language … tryin’ to find a better word than “Laughter” or “Tears” or even “Joy” (which is one of my favorites). I thought to myself, “God, you might have to use the full range of human hearing to truly express these words.” So, I decided to create a language that would include all the frequencies that one of my favorite inventions, the human ear drum, could perceive. Using the full range of frequencies, I then went into my imagination and, instead of speaking, what came out … was singing.
Thyme
Wow, God, I’ve never heard ya’ put so many words together at once. I thought you were a man of few words.
God
First of all I’m not a man, an’ when it comes to music, there are no words. That’s the point. Music goes beyond words. When it comes to language, it’s the best I ever came up with.
Thyme
It’s the one language that everybody understands, ain’t it?
God
You got that right.
Thyme
So, since my imagination is also your imagination, I can make any kind a’ music I want to?
God
That’s right. You have access to all the music in my imagination.
Thyme
I can hear everything you hear?
God
Right again. It’s just a matter of listening. But remember, there’s one little pickle problem to consider.
Thyme
What’s that?
God
If you want to communicate what you hear to others …
Thyme
Uh huh … What?
God
Ya’ gotta practice.
Thyme
Oh yeah … There’s always somethin’ …
God
Yeah. There’s always somthin’.
