Tip of an idea

I want to explore the metaphysical, emotional, spiritual side that transcendent music has on individuals.
What would it do to two people with vastly different political and social viewpoints?
Don't want to go the way of overly sentemetial moralizing story.

Ujeck woke up one morning in his frigid washington heights apartment.
His jet black hair was aflamed with sweat as he rose his head off the pillow. Today would be the one year anniversery of his arrival in america from Lebanon. He came to america immediately after Israel lunched it's invasion of the southern tip of his country. He wanted to teach music in his country, but his social views of equality, not just equality among his fellow lebanesse people, but his opinions that Israel should have the right to exits angered many of his friends. When invasion begun, he thought it would be better to travel to america and work apart from the conflict, while working to ease relations in the middle east.
