When I try to imagine my life without music, it almost seems empty and without character. Seriously !! What would I have done without music ! I can't even begin to explain how extremely important music is for me. Music is the only thing that can understand one's ambivalent nature. No matter what I am feeling, I can think of a song or a track that I can relate to at that instance.
Ever since I was a moppet, I've heard all genres of music playing around. It's marvelous what just six strings can create. Bunch of black and white keys played together can be amazingly blissful. Just a rhythm out of a random thing can make you tap your feet. And when all these things and many more join hands, what's formed is almost chimerical. It takes you to a different world altogether..world you can call your own. Whenever I hear a melody , I can play a story in my mind along with it. Often , I hook myself on to my iPod and absolutely lose track of time shutting the world around me. Doing this brings me tranquillity. There are many genres I can indulge myself into. However, rock is the way to go.
I sometimes hate the fact that I am not gifted with this zany and awesome power to create the most brilliant thing on this earth. Thank God at least I have the gift to appreciate it. Rock music is the reason I constantly feel that I should've lived in the 60's when it all began..When The Beatles , The Doors, Queen manifested an altogether different way of living in front of the whole wide world. It makes me feel elevated when I hear the rich sound of an electric guitar hand in hand with honey like acoustic guitar & intimidating drums in the background, vocalist taking it all to a different level altogether. What these people did was make the instruments talk. They were no less than Gods. They've given the world music which will be carried on for eternity. It's almost ridiculous how music empowered every aspect of their lives. Even today, when I let my ears will with the sweetness of almost 50 year old songs, I find myself beguiled. Every time I listen to a song, any favourite, I notice something new , a little baroque detail and the joy it brings is of a different kind. Right now, 'Oh! Darling' by The Beatles is playing in the background and I can visualise in my head the four of them jamming it up. It truly is amazing what music can do to you..and it's freaking insane what people like John Lennon, Jim Morrisson, Freddie Mercury, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, James Hetfield <list goes on> brought to this world. What I adore about Classic Rock is that there is myriad of instruments and techniques used which today's music really lacks. It intrigues me what lies behind every song and how and why it was made. Rock and Classic Rock really brings out very strong emotions in you and that's the best thing about it. Even if it's just a piece of music without words, you can relate to it in some odd way. Music which has been created by these Gods is absolutely unmatchable. And this Music is going to be passed on from one generation to another only to live on forever.
Music works almost like therapy. It indeed has some weird powers. For music's that one thing which can make even lassitude seem comforting, music's the only thing which can make you shake a leg, music's the only thing which makes you drift away to an unseen, unknown world. I have pretty strong feelings about m u s i c, not just Rock but I don't have the patience to indite about each genre I like. I hope you < if anyone's reading > relate to all the words I've pasted above and I hope it brings at least a smile.. Also, you would agree that there's no other joy like the one you get when you sing out loud with your favourite song in the background <even if it's ridiculously out of tune>
