What is it about the word "harmony"?
I know, I've been going through this whole "harmony" craze the past few days - and I've been spending of time at YouTube watching the video clip, just so I can hear Michael say the word "harmony". Now, why do I like that word so much? It's pretty much been my favourite word for nearly twenty years, now - and I'm now thirty. So I've actually liked that word since I was a little girl. I've gone through periods of times of liking other words, but I always go back to really liking the word "harmony".
Well, let's see, I really like the way the word sounds. It's a beautiful word, and I really like the way the word rolls off your tongue. In recent years, I've come to really gain an appreciation of what the word means, as well. I think it'd be wonderful if all the politicians of this world could put aside their different, so that we can have global harmony. It's a wonderful thing that more of us should strive for.
Of course, harmony is also a word that's often associated with music - and I happen to be a huge music lover. Rhythm, melody, and harmony are the three concepts that make up music. So it's just really a great thing to have in music, as well.
I really like Harmony as a girl's name, as well - so, along with Calvin McFly from the Twins Universe, Harmony Brown is my favourite original character from my fanfic stories. I tend to characterize her as a sweet and friendly girl, who does her best to live up to her name.
When I was about 12, I started writing stories about a pair of twin girls named Harmony and Melody - which was inspired by the Sweet Valley Twins series. Harmony was the Elizabeth-type character, while Melody was a little more like Jessica. I never really got that far with my writing, but I came up with all different stories about them in my head.
When I was into Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I was a little into the Harmony Kendall character - even though she was very much of a snob, and didn't really do much to live up to her name. I do tend to wonder why Joss Whedon decided to call that snobbish Cordette - a friend of Cordelia Chase - Harmony. I guess he was somewhat fond of such contradictions.
Anyway, I just love saying that word - and I also love hear that word. Now I especially love hearing Michael J Fox say that word. He's got a lovely voice, so to hear that word coming from him makes it sound even more special. I no longer have to speculate over what it would sound like to hear him say that word, because now I actually did get to hear him say it.
Yeah, it sounds kind of silly - but within all these years that I've loved that word, I've always wanted to hear certain people say that word. Some I finally did get to hear, and others I never did. I still never got to hear Robert Plant say the word "harmony" - that word was never sung in a Led Zeppelin song, and I also don't think Robert sang that word in any of his solo stuff - even though I did get to hear Jimmy Page say it about once or twice.
Anyway, I did manage to get two of the five ficlets uploaded today. I'll try to get the remaining three up tomorrow, and then only my major fics.
