THE AFFECT OF MUSIC by Hally
From an early age we come to appreciate music as something that is always there. It is something that we use at a party, in the car to pass the time and even in cafes and stores we visit. We come to appreciate music as a catalyst to fun, sadness, opportunity and remorse. It is pivotal in our day to day dramas and yet, did you ever really wonder about music itself?
Based on numerous conversations over the years only those that consciously make music part of their lives does music and the sensitivities we have to music become apparent. What we classify the “every day person” that goes about their business rarely stops to think of music as anything more than an additive to an event.
is a powerful medium connecting our unconscious to our conscious. It has the power to move us to tears or lift us up to laughing. This is done through the choice of notes, the progression of chords and keys used to even the tone of the singer, if there is one.
Speaking first hand as a musician and someone that is more sensitive than some, music is one of the rare things in life that is like breathing to me. It can be found as the wind whistles through the trees, it can be found with a busker strumming her guitar on the sidewalk and it is something that I find lives within our very hearts. is the song of life.
Consequently when I find myself at events where the music does not complement certain aspects of my own musical chord I can become uncomfortable and it has the power to change my state of mind. Naturally when you mention this to a friend they look at you as though you are speaking another language because they may not resonate with their own song let alone that which has been written by someone else.
When you walk into a store or a café take note of how it makes you feel. Sometimes this in itself can make you feel at ease or ready to run. Listen to what really resonates with you and ask the question why. You may be surprised to hear what the answer is.
Below is a poetic interpretation to the power of music…
A MUSICIAN’S CONNECTION TO LIFE…
The sensation of feeling alive reflects the ebbs and flows of a song as it journeys from the first verse through the chorus to the coda for the grand finale. And so we live with ups and downs, good and bad coming to an exciting ending, or beginning, on what was our life.
My life I hear in the music of songs, the counter melody, the counter harmony flowing with the main melody, following its own path and yet in line with others.
The single strike of a piano key vibrates through the air as the voice of one that is filled with passion, passion for love, passion for life.
As I sing, I hear the notes coming from an instrument familiar and yet foreign in sound. It has been a while since I have heard you. The sensation of pure expression is liberating and empowering. The song of self is by far the most powerful. I so enjoy hearing it; I so long to hear it more.
I am alive when I hear the beat of a drum and the lyrics of song come to light. It is the breath in my mouth and the blood in my veins flow to the very heart as it beats in time with all that comes to follow.
My music is my song is my life. Every breath I take is for all the songs I am yet to sing and as I exhale, these are the songs of yesterday whispered in the night carried with the wind.
is part of my soul, part of my mind and lives within each cell of my body. Every sound vibrates a chord of emotion that flows through to my very core. I shiver from the amazing sensation and excitement of the musical journey.
My breath is song, my life is music and so we are one.
I am free in a single bar of music and have escaped all that is held before me by the end of the first verse. is my drug; it is my hidden desire of everlasting passion.
The cost is a life of commitment, devotion and unyielding connection of the explainable. There are no words true enough to express the strength music has and is in life. We hear it every day and never stop to wonder of its affects.
I know the little secret, which I have known for sometime. is the addiction of passion. is the drug of life to pick up when you are down, to bring strangers closer and create a room of ten thousand people enjoying every beat, melody and journey it has to offer.
Many have tried for a similar following but have fallen short of the same power.
To play, to sing is to live.
