במה בהמה יוצאה ובמה אינה יוצאה וסוס בשיר וכל בעלי השיר יוצאין בשיר
...
A Shir is a leash.
Rav Schwabb: Shirah conveys the thought of attachment, through song we express our attachment to Hakadosh Baruch Hu.

Rav Aviner: To sing to Hashem is to going beyond the emotional, and beyond the intellectual. It is to look at matters through a deep place of great light.
(יט) וְעַתָּ֗ה כִּתְב֤וּ לָכֶם֙ אֶת־הַשִּׁירָ֣ה הַזֹּ֔את וְלַמְּדָ֥הּ אֶת־בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל שִׂימָ֣הּ בְּפִיהֶ֑ם לְמַ֨עַן תִּהְיֶה־לִּ֜י הַשִּׁירָ֥ה הַזֹּ֛את לְעֵ֖ד בִּבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
(19) Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach thou it the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Israel.
זמרו לו
R' Aviner: Zimrah expresses my emotions. It fills me up. It brings life to me!
We start off with שירה. We start off with a broad perspective , which brings us to זמר, which is feeling of the soul, which penetrates deep into my personality. And this leads us to the 3rd stage which is to שיחו לו, to speak of his wonders.
If the world is full of his wonders how is it hat many people don't see the wonders of Hashem? Because they don't speak of his wonders! Why? Because they don't have the זמרו לו feeling that the world is wonderful! Why don't have this feeling? Because they don't have the שירו לו, broader perspective.

Yismach Lev Mivakshey Hashem:
Truly Happy People are open open to searching for Hashem:
Dirshu Hashem Veuzo
Ramban (25:22) writes that Dirshu Hashem refers to Tfillah, while veuzo refers to studying his Torah
