"Every being, every living thing has a wavelength. All creatures respond to sound for this reason. Whether by ear or by vibration, noise affects all. Non-living objects aren't immune. [[Stone]] cracks and crystal shatters if the right frequency is used. Using this tuning fork demonstrates my point. You see? Sound, vibration, waves. | "Every being, every living thing has a wavelength. All creatures respond to sound for this reason. Whether by ear or by vibration, noise affects all.

Every being also has emotions. And emotions have a sound. They vibrate, you are affected by them, you can resonate to them. This is not as easy to demonstrate, but I'm sure everyone here can remember picking up on a mood, feeling what someone else is feeling. I'm sure everyone can also remember a piece of art or a poem affecting them so as to change their mood. Think. Have you ever been unhappy and been to see the painting | Every being also has emotions.

I'm sure everyone can also remember a piece of art or a poem affecting them so as to change their mood. Think. Have you ever been unhappy and been to see the painting Sunshine on [[Layonara]] at the temple of [[Deliar]]? Did you not smile when you saw those beams of [[light]], the play of color under the rays, almost tangible? What changed? It was only a picture. What changed was your emotions, the picture acting to modify the sound of your feelings. | ||
The same is true for a song, most especially for a song, as songs are comprised of waves of sound. Emotional waves are what artists manipulate. The very act of being alive gives off waves, though we can't hear them. Well, most of them. So let's consider the person's very being as the 'resonance', as we call it, and their emotions the melody. This applies to all living things. Some things are so simple, so mindless that they have only a single resonance. And some things, such as elves or even dragons, have such complex and long lives that they have several resonances that mix with their melodies. We've found that most humans have no more than two, however, at least that's what we believe. This combination of resonance and emotional melody is what we call simply the Heartsong. Affecting this is the cornerstone of our art. | The same is true for a song, most especially for a song, as songs are comprised of waves of sound. Emotional waves are what artists manipulate.
