I read an article that reported that chimpanzees, our closest primate-relative will sway and dance when they hear music. Some birds, sea-lions and dogs can be trained to move with music… however chimpanzees move with music spontaneously, and have been observed in the wild rhythmically using sticks to create a beat and moving with a beat. It is theorized that music is something ingrained in our most ancient consciousness.

Music is in us

Ancient rhythms are in part of us
A feeling of connection among us
As mother child lullaby becalms us
And God’s first communication with us
Learning to express feeling between us
To call each other, and know it’s us
Then to move and dance, inspiring us
Forever, our world is better
…. Because the music is always in us
