He Speaks In Music
I have a really close friend who can’t articulate in words what he’s thinking… but when he puts it to music, it becomes hauntingly clear what he’s trying to say.
I am profoundly effected by music; to me, it’s emotion in it’s purest form. It comes from someplace deeper than words…
I have people tell me all the time, “I don’t know how you can write about the things you do.” Well, it’s pretty easy most of the time; I hold a little of myself back. I hold it back to share with those who are closest to me. But music is different; there’s no hiding behind words. Granted, it’s subject to interpretation, but if you truly know the composer, there is nothing standing between you their deepest feelings.
Sometimes, that can just be too much to take.
