Music as I see it. Written in 10 minutes. I thought it would be fun. Challenge = give yourself 10 minutes to write in any way that you would like about your thoughts on music - any thoughts, any way - ready, set, go! And remember to stop at 10 minutes…and ya I did it too!
Music as I see it.
Alright… Challenge accepted (I cheated with +10 minutes of editing, but okay):
There’s this term ‘Frisson; it’s the shivers of that moment when that amazing song finally reached it’s climax, or that moment when you suddenly realise that this song, these lyrics right here, right now say so much about how you feel. It’s addictive.
There’s music that gets me every time. The combination of lyrics, sounds, textures, melodies and composition which makes it worth it all the time when listening to it. It can make you feel like floating through space with your headphones, or you can completely forget about observing anything through your other senses.
Music can give you energy or excitement, it can give you that rhythm and the atmosphere that you need to get things done. It can put you in that awesome mood, or amplify joy or melancholy.
It is like paintings: Some albums paint a beautiful but sad picture about a neighbourhood, a group of friends or a dystopia, while others are an abstract, but coherent whole. Every time you look into it, you can focus on another detail. Music can be studied, it is made to be listened to. People put their hearts and souls into it.
And yet there are so many people who just think of music as background noise…
