Music is...?

We're going to Langkawi tomorrow. I don't know whether or not I should be happy. I'm not that into... leaving the house and going places... and stuff. Not that I'm anti-social, of course. I mean, okay, a BIT anti-social, but... yeah, okay, y'know what? Whatever. DROPPING the subject.

Haha.

I'm listening to Snow Patrol's "Run" right now; and I must say, the song is very nice. Not the chorus as much, of course, but I love the mood in which the singer puts it. Its, like, sad and hopeful and... hopeless at the same time. I imagine the atmosphere in terms of "before parting". Its beautiful, really.

Which brings me to my topic of discussion for today (omg. she has TOPICS now?!):

Music.

I know how some people love the tune of the melody. The keys used. Perhaps even the type of music playing. The lyrics. The band/singer.

-but for me?

Its all about the story.

The story woven by a particular song is what fascinates me -- draws me in and make me melt.

What I mean to say is; the whole package in general. The voice of the singer gives tone; depth. Lyrics draw the scene; the expression of the characters. The melody/tune denotes the atmosphere -- the mood in that particular moment.

All in all, this song, "Run", draws (in my conclusion anyways) a very beautiful story.

I can imagine the main characters crying. Reminiscing. Embracing. Falling apart. Breaking.

Good stuff.

Music to me does not mean life. It does not mean, in my opinion, there is no life without music.

It just means life without the presence of music would be an unusual one. Perfect. Neutral. Boring.

Music to me is an expression. A feeling. Sensations. Whether one chooses to express such feelings by belching it out; screaming it out; rapping about it; drawling over it... that paints the picture. Makes the listener UNDERSTAND and RELATE.

See, thats why I don't have a favorite genre of music. Am not particular of bands and singers and whatnot.

I love music. Music itself.


For music, you see; is passion.

It doesn't matter how bad you sing; how horrible you play -- if you have a feeling, express it. Don't let anybody stop you because no two songs are the same. No one song, even though re-sung by two different singers; paints the same picture.

Therefore,

I guess what I'm trying to say here is:

Inject music into your veins. Your body. Your entire soul.

Taste the passion.
