Came across these lovely quotes.They do capture it all.
” A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. “
and one closest to my strain of thought
” Music is what feelings sound like. “!!
Music is such an overwhelming universal language, crosses ALL barriers and boundaries. It is a medium which reaches out and touches people in a way nothing else can. It can be broken down into symbols and notes and chords and keys and learnt and taught in different levels. But to a layman music is simple, sweet and pure. “Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”.
Be it a tinkling of a bell, clattering of a train, stomping of hooves, rustling of leaves, ofcourse prattle of a toddler, or the pitter patter of raindrops, boiling of your stew, twitter of the birds;they are all music in its varied assorted forms. It is music, if you want it to be, if you deem it to be; music is ubiquitous when your soul is at peace, with your self. Music transcends the normal, the ordinary state of mind and brings you closest to your self, where everything else freezes up.
When you are besieged with a surge of intense, multifarious, nameless emotions…music comes to your rescue; suffuses you, washes over you, fills you with a serene feeling, a familiar feeling. in touch with reality, normalcy, the beautiful sides…and ofcourse the best way is, to just let it flow over you, flit and trip and skip and hop and maybe glide over you, and be wary not to lose yourself in it…for then you get drenched with pathos, love, ambiguity, glee bordering on insanity, whichever is your pick, for the moment!
If Music be the food of 'life', play on...!
