The voices sing out so loud, the emotions so clear, every beat so strong.
I think music-playing, singing- is a very enjoyable thing. Isn't that such a simple statement? Yeah. Sometimes, when the vacuous way of living becomes so unbearable, to such an extent we question the reason the purpose of life, singing can fill that void. Even if you sing out of tune (well anyway if you sing out of tune, the odds are you don't know you are singing out of tune,maybe), even if you can't belt out the latest hits, even if you can't remember the lyrics and just hum or make weird sounds to fill up the gaps, even if... even if everything is wrong, singing can't do the soul wrong. I mean people go to church and they worship and they sing songs right? And the temple people chant? And the African tribes beat drums and dance? Even if you're not religious, you can sing a little nursery rhyme and whatever, it makes you feel like prancing around. Does it not? Okay maybe it's just me. But... try. Try singing. Like B's previous blog url, "LET'S SING IT". take that advice. and well Jai's blog url "MUSIC SAVES THE WORLD". yeah. music saves yiqi from cheerlessness, and it saves yiqi from the world that, sometimes, fail to be the way we'd like it to be.
I guess what has never failed to touch me, it's music. And the people who've brought music into my life and my memories. When I listen to those familiar tunes, I feel a shiver go through me and... I don't know. Sometimes when you listen to a really good vocalist, you get those goosebumps? Yeah. I mean, only music can be that magical.
If music were a religion...hmm. I wouldn't be a free thinker.
