What Am I? (a riddle)

I am everywhere
Wherever you go
I know no nationality
I have no real foes

I speak in many tongues
And yet speak none
You hear me quite often
Tho you think silence has won

I have bought nations together
Not set them apart
You was born with me
I'm naturally in your heart

In different ways I speak to you
In different ways you hear me too

You think you can escape me but you can't
Forever in your mind
One way or another
In your mind
I always chant

What am I?

sadly I must point out that s1l4 is incorrect apparently.

is a link to this phenomena. I had heard about it before but didn't wish to believe. Yet there are those in the world that wish to wring every atom of happiness from there surroundings, I assume because they are soooo unhappy themselves.

I voice my soul that all the world needs more music, though I have paid a price for mine. I too say we need more pixie riddles! ;-)

you can't stop someone humming a tune in their head, it's like trying to ban a thought. nice riddle TP, i would have guessed voice and been wrong.roll eyes

Yep gg......their are those that lay the blame on music that corrupts the spirit....from all types of religions.....and yet these very same people cannot live without it! Its impossible! laugh
A 'chant' or prayer in a repeated monotonous of any type IS MUSIC!!!!!

A beat or rhythm of any type IS MUSIC!!!!!

Whether we play the drums or nervously tap our fingers against something.....

And nobody needs an external instrument to 'hear' or experience music.....

Like ladybee said.....it appears to many of us as a 'voice'.......how many of us have heard someone else humming to themselves? But more importantly, I claim that we all do it naturally....even babies....hughug

The music of the soul, the inner music of the spirit, is everywhere and cannot be quelled.
The sounds of a baby cooing...music.
The sounds of the forest...music.
The sounds of your inner voice...music.

Your music is with me always my Pixie...
