Music: The meaning.
Sep. 5th, 2010 04:08 pmYou can look at music on a sheet of paper. What does it mean to you?
You can listen to music in concert, in your home or even in your head. But what does it mean to you?
You can write music, perform music, mix and mash and destroy music.
But what
does
it
MEAN?
To me, music is the extension of one's self when one can not put what they're feeling into words. I create, perform, mix, mash, destroy, and rebuild music. I do this because it is what I FEEL on the inside. In my soul is where my feelings lie. To my fingers are where my feelings flow. To your ears and brain are where my feelings are processed by you and for a split second, on some level... you get me.
You feel what I feel, you think how I think and we are one... but only for that split second in which the vibrations in the air are perceived as sound by your brain....
Anywhere on any level past that, that's all it is to you: Sound. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, all you hear is sound. I'm the one with the feelings. I'm the one who put the time, blood, sweat, tears, effort, and emotion into creating the song. I know why I wrote it.
I also know why you're listening.
You listen because you feel too. You think and feel by just the same process as me. Though our ideals and justifications are processed differently (i.e. one could be pro-life and the other pro-abortion), the same process happens to get there. We perceive light and sound in our mind and those signals are processed in our brains to give our neurons other signals. These signals are perceived as emotions....
Everyone
has
emotions.
Emotions some of which one can not rightly explain with words or actions.... then comes a third method: Music.
Wether you play Guitar, Piano, Piccolo, Violin, Tuba, Drums or create the music on computer software, it gets created by you, for you, for others.
and why?
Because you feel. It means something to you. It's important enough for you to want to express it and sometimes share it.
That's my meaning of music.... speaking of which, I'm going to write a song now..... Catch you later.
