Going to concert soon.
I was thinking yesterday, that we never really notice how complicated and hard everything we do is. Nobody notices the beauty in music, it's so multi-layered. It's not just hitting the right notes or blowing the air through your instrument. It's about making it flow, make it beautiful. There is so much more to flute playing than I ever thought was possible. I was a pretty good flute player, but after yesterday night @ my flute lesson, I knew I couldn't compare. I had to practice technique, tone and making it ... something that I need to translate, musically. I was just hitting the right little keys on my flute and blowing, I never think about my music. But, it's not my fault sometimes, I think.
The music we always play, we have no feeling for it. I debate this sometimes and I wonder what's more important: having great technique or having artistic ability to capture emotion and well, make your audience feel the music. I don't know. Isn't music supposed to be an expression of the soul? Why do we play such dry pieces that we don't care about? That's probably why most indie artists are indie artists. They need to find a niche and write songs they care and feel about. I agree with that, but sometimes I don't know what I feel when playing music which makes me question if I was supposed to in the first place. It brings up a ton of new questions. Is there such a thing as natural talent? Can anyone just pick up an instrument and play? Does someone have to be born with a passion for music? I think some are, most indie artists, and I really don't give a **** what anyone now says about Bright Eyes, I still think those are the most beautiful lyrics written by anyone of that young an age. It has to come within, somehow and I don't know why our "band" can really be a band. It all comes down to really working on what you play with.
So, we need to appreciate every skill or job somebody does because I know everyone thinks they can do it, it's simple, for example, music again, it's just music. But there's so much behind the scenes that nobody thinks about that should be noticed and appreciated which makes me, not sad... just ... weirded out a bit. I don't really now what to think.
LOL. I just thought of something. This song is so pretty, I would marry it. Well, the beginning part before he sings, DL it! Open Eyes - The Early November. AWWWWWWWW, I would die if somebody sang this to me. I can only dream. *sigh*. This totally changed my mood from thoughtful to ....... :)
