Music Feeds the Muse: The Use of Power

by Ken on November 26, 2009

If you’re a member of the human race (and I’m assuming you are), you have power. You may have a little; you may have a lot, but you have some. The larger question isn’t how much you have, but how you choose to use it.

Some use their power simply to gain more, while others give theirs away to avoid responsibility. In both cases, it’s a terrible waste.

Our lives can only be transformed once we recognize the power we possess and resolve to use it for the betterment of ourselves and those we encounter.

The use of power, for both good and evil, is the subject of the song Handlebars by the alternative rock and rap band, Flobots. And in this particular video, a young woman who calls herself Allyballybabe is using her power to communicate in American Sign Language to share the impact of song lyrics and the beauty of a visual language.

I find power in both the video and the song. Enjoy.
