Well, the best defence in a spiritual battle is to sing praises to God. Demons hate that. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
One of my big time fave scenes in all of LotR is Sam singing his song in the tower of Cirith Ungol. He never would've found Frodo without that song.
And, before I read "The Silmarillion" or "The Magician's Nephew", I determined that the creation of my little fantasy world, R'dao, was done mostly by Sion's singing. There was some writing of names, too, but R'dao came about by song. And the equivelant of the gospels in R'dao is "the song"; Jesus is represented by the first ever wandering minstrel/bard known simply as "Mwimbaje" (Swahili for "singer"). He never says much, if anything at all, but when he comes around, he's always playing a song on his guitar that speaks to people who listen far more effectively than any sung words could.

I love songs. *contented sigh*
