Although it was only spoken about as a side point, the explanation of Shira-song was so beautiful it made me realize what tremendous Koach a melody can have.  There are many examples of Shira in Tanach all of which can be understood in a deeper way when you note how the "singer" sings at a point of coming "full circle" (similar to a chorus) and dedicating their life to Hashem!

I think the idea of recognizing where we came from and elevating everything we do in the service of Hashem is incredibly beautiful.  It's a tremendously meaningful way to live.  The idea that dance and song are both to be elevated - it takes a powerful moment in life and makes it holy.  I really appreciate that.  My question is - if we can't fully know Hashem, and sometimes it's hard to know Him at all - isn't it logical that we would ask if he walks with us?

Thanks!
