Van der Leeuw, p. 215-
"Primitive man knows that beautiful sound conveys all his feelings and thoughts more powerfully, more fully, and more exactly than does the individual word."
I brought this up in my presentation, but I do not believe that many people think hardcore music is "beautiful sound." But I think that it can be argued that man knows that music, whether considered beautiful by others or not, is a pure way to convey emotions and connect with a higher power. Lyrics in Christian hardcore music are definitely delivered in a way that displays pure emotion. While it is aggressive in nature, that aggression displays a ton of passion for what they are saying. To these musicians, their music is beautiful, because it connects them with God and they are able to express their devotion and feelings through it. I think that whether the public considers music beautiful or not, music is a great way for man to display emotions and connect with God.
