Music is probably the most fascinating of human creations and appreciations. What it invokes within us, and its holds over us, is mysteriously “other worldy.” Our ability to take sounds – mere vibrations – noise – and combine them into pleasurable patterns we call music is downright phenomenal. The endless, forever evolving range of music expressing and evoking different feelings, sensations, and worlds within us, never ceases to amaze me.
Music is a Sensation.
It is amazing.
Causing feelings and dazes and moments of Elation.
Elevation.
Invigorating bodies and minds
with rhythmic equations.
Incarcerating you into the here and now
with intoxicating combinations:
Of sounds and drum beats
and patterns of entrancing undulations.
Music is Communication.
A sharing of internal spaces and
A screaming of proclamations!
Expressing different moods through emotive vibrations,
for beautifully entrancing durations.
It is a response to the ages,
To heart palpitations
Created from the reverberations of
Crazed times or inspiration.
Always moving
Always changing
Music is a painting.
Of particular times and places,
Of different cultures and subcultures reincarnating.
New genres being created
Outdated
Reinstated.
Always changing.
Music is Educating.
Expressing unifying and dividing ways of
Human Identification.
Telling stories through out the ages
of hope and desperation.
Of love-sick longing loneliness
and quiet contemplations.
Inspiring movements
and social outrage,
and 1960’s folk style
Indoctrination.
Music is Awakening.
It is a moving force like breathing.
Creating energy and connectivity
and conscious moment in-taking.
The energy created from a live performance
can be palpable
Electric
Powerful.
It makes your body itch and quiver
like it were aware of being a part of something cosmical.
Music is fantastically weird.
A wonderful
Quirk of existence.
A testament to the curious
Mysteriously rich
Nature of creation.
Sound. Noise. Vibrations.
And out of them
we put together complex co ordinations.
Harmonizations.
Symphonies.
And technoesque frequencies.
Rhythmic pulsing equations,
Inducing euphoric cathartic
Sensations.
The human mind’s conscious appreciation
Of music and it’s mysterious pulsations
Unlocks and exaggerates the mystery of our minds’ situation.
Music is Erasing.
Soothing. Consuming. Releasing.
Relieving tension and
Unleashing.
It pulls you into directly experiencing
the moment you are hearing.
You are not then, nor there, or anywhere
But here and now, listening.

you're incredible.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm really feeling what your saying (once again!) in all respects. I agree music is "out of this world" in a sense and is maybe our greatest achievement and invention as a species. How I wish our treatment of one another and our politics, for example, approached the level of greatness of our music.
ReplyDeleteAs a wise young man in Uganda once told me, everyone is a musician at heart and everyone takes inspiration from music - whether it be personally, spiritually, or politically.
Thats alot of blog it may be a bit until I actually read it - I do like M Franti though - not so much of a political fan but music yes - Youll have to drag Nadal down to Oregon again sometime - Take care -
