“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”
― Victor Hugo
I've always been in awe of people who can listen to music and come away primed for a weighty discussion of relevant themes and deep insights.
To me, music is profound, is weighty, but it's also simple. And AMAZING.
Think about it: What other time is it perfectly that an oftentimes, total stranger, is given license to speak to you about some of your most painful, sensitive life-changing thoughts on your mind and in your heart.
To you. About you. For you.
For this reason (and a thousand others), I am staring Playlist, my blog about songs that are currently on my iPod, why I like it, and what makes it important to me.
I'll choose my songs at random, so, there may be several in a row from a particular genre. Don't blame me, blame the Shuffle button.
Also, here are some things about me that you may like to know, music-wise:
- I like all kinds of music, across many eras. So, if you read about Tupac in one post and Buddy Holly in another, don't say I didn't warn you.
- I'm a sap for musicals. #sorrynotsorry
- Not all of my explanations will deep, nor will all of my posts be long.
- My mother once said that to be a good writer, you have to put something of your hear in the writing. I'll give it my best shot.
I'm looking forward to sharing my music with you.
