music…
by josh ~ December 15th, 2008. Filed under: Uncategorized.so why do i make music/ have an interest in music? you might ask. simple.
i believe that music is an intrinsic human emotion and that there are worlds within this emotion that have yet to be discovered. so far- i have only managed to begin to grasp what we already understand about music but i hope that someday soon i stumble onto something not yet understood. a rythmn. a note. a sound. a composition. a word.
i often wonder what handel heard that no one else did. or what stevie wonder can see that no one else can. where hans zimmer’s thought pattern takes him that no one else’s does. why charlie chaplin’s score to his silent film “city lights” made me cry. if the oboes and offbeat string hits made buster keaton funnier in his movie “the general”. why listening to sara bareilles’ “gravity” while watching a sunrise going 70 on the highway makes me feel like i’m at home. why people who never listen to rock music can sing every song from the musical “west side story”. why people need music on their cellphones. why no one can go without a radio in their car. why a couple about to break up are re-united when a song they first heard together plays again. why some kid in some school is absolutely convinced that the tuba is the greatest instrument of all time. why pop music is hated by as many people as people who love it. —my list of questions goes on.
there is a secret hidden within music that i would love to unlock. music binds nations yet incites riots; music protests war and also leads men into battle.
music… the final frontier? maybe. let’s find out…
