Pity. I wrote a post about change and unhappiness yesterday but it's not anywhere to be found. It's not possible to talk about it again. The feeling is gone. Bleah. And it was eventually refreshing and forward looking too, quite unlike my usual dreary whining. How discouraging. Except one piece of advice. Walking backwards only makes you miserable because you won't be able to see the road ahead of you. Also, you'd probably keep falling over.
If you thought that was rather pointless and obvious information, I have only one word for you: Metaphor.
Anyway, today's post is about music. It's philosophy to a melody. Strictly speaking this applies only to songs WITH lyrics that have some kind of meaning. If you find meaning in Prodigy though, do let me know. Mad props to you.
I don't believe you cannot find a piece of music that would portray whatever feelings you have right now, and that's the beauty of it. Subtle propaganda. If I were a man romancing a woman, I'd send her music (better still, write, if I was so able) depicting my deep and utter love for her. And if I were that woman, I'd love you for your messages of love buried in music.
Music is so mood evoking and is the BEST form of escapism because it doesn't demand a lot of cognitive activity on your part. Once you reach the point when you're able to lose yourself to the melody, you'll discover it has magical properties of mood-changing.
Whenever I'm feeling particularly down, I sit down at the piano and storm out "Memory" from Cats. Sigh. They're right. Music does soothe the savage beast. Heh.
Sooth is an actual word, meaning truth or reality. E.g: Forsooth! Music doth soothe the savage beast.
