It's a story about the true meaning of the rainbow, an enchanted journey to finding the truth. A little leprechaun named Luckstar wanders off and finds himself on the other side of the rainbow, searching for that special someone, and that special someone is you, to help him find his way back home on the other side of the rainbow. The story is about the people he will meet along the way. The whole time Luckstar, the little leprechaun, thought he was lost, but Jesus found him and sent him on an unforgettable journey to see the hearts of the people he will meet. So Jesus sent the little leprechaun, Luckstar, to your house and met you. Jesus knew you would lead him to Christ, help him get back home to the other side of the rainbow, and bring with him the good news all about the Gospel. To let everyone know the true meaning of the rainbow, it's all because of you! For it is by grace you have been saved through faith and this is not from ourselves it is the gift of God not by works so that no one can boast.--Ephesians 2:8-9And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generation to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."(Genesis 9:12-16)

This Is What It Sounds Like is a journey into the science and soul of music that reveals the secrets of why your favorite songs move you. But it's also a story of a musical trailblazer who began as a humble audio tech in Los Angeles, rose to become Prince's chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then created other No. 1 hits ,including Barenaked Ladies' "One Week," as one of the most successful female record producers of all time.Now an award-winning professor of cognitive neuroscience, Susan Rogers leads readers to musical self-awareness. She explains that we each possess a unique "listener profile" based on our brain's natural response to seven key dimensions of any song. Are you someone who prefers lyrics or melody? Do you like music "above the neck" (intellectually stimulating), or "below the neck" (instinctual and rhythmic)? Whether your taste is esoteric or mainstream, Rogers guides readers to recognize their musical personality, and offers language to describe one's own unique taste. Like most of us, Rogers is not a musician, but she shows that all of us can be musical-simply by being an active, passionate listener.While exploring the science of music and the brain, Rogers also takes us behind the scenes of record-making, using her insider's ear to illuminate the music of Prince, Frank Sinatra, Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, and many others. She shares records that changed her life, contrasts them with those that appeal to her coauthor and students, and encourages you to think about the records that define your own identity.Told in a lively and inclusive style, This Is What It Sounds Like will refresh your playlists, deepen your connection to your favorite artists, and change the way you listen to music.
