..as I listen to this mp3, I'm drawn back to last winter and all the emotions, hopes, fears, loves that went along with discovering it and listening to a new song for the first time.
..as I get older, music gets woven tightly through my relationships, my environment, my age and the scenario I'm in.. sometimes it layers back in on itself like a dough being folded over and kneaded - for example a certain red hot chilli peppers song reminds me of Iain-the-chef, Jon-from-portsmouth, being on a train bound for london, being at hyde park hearing them live, and crying in the rain amongst the mountains surrounding mt fuji in Japan.
What prompted this post though was the thought that as time and human lives move onwards, more music emerges and evolves..there are always new artists, new music, new sounds, along side the overwhelming wealth and history of previous eras. Do you ever think that before recorded music the only time you could hear it was live? Now we can hear the voices and instruments of those long dead, and pass this on to our children some of whom will become the artists of the future. And I believe that as long as there are people, there are will be musical expression of some kind..it will just go on and on..
Ok I give up trying to express this in words. wow. scuse me while I feel a bit amazed.
