music++::...
i promised some time back to make a small or large or whatever you want essay or post regarding music. i believe the time is now. no i havent been preparing it, merely waiting for my brain to say ok the time is now. basically this is part music, part life. i mean at least for me, my wife and my music = my life.
as rennie has on his nickname "music is the only proof that god exists" if there even is one.
joey or carl, i dont know who posted and too lazy to read said that life is at a point where you are like wtf, where do i go now, no one prepares you for this type of shit that you will eventually encounter in life. needless to say, i believe that this crisis hits us all with the same ferocity.
i am currently listening to iron maiden, and earlier i was listening to the velvet underground accompanied by a previous jamming to some ...and you will know us by the trail of dead. now i look up and try to understand what fosters our inability to enjoy life for what it is, i mean we make money, have gf's or a wife that support us, but still there us this huge empty void lacking something.
i feel music and words fill it all the time, specially the bands i grew up with like maiden, sabbath, zeppelin (how i love those guys), queen, etc and i feel like at my mid 20's there used to be a better time. nowadays if i want to listen to something with quality (being words or music) i just cant other than harrasing my friends over here in nm who actually use their brain. i feel there is a lack of culture all over this country, i feel bored because tv tells me i have to become an idiot to be happy.
there is a lack of people who voice an opinion that is taken into matter by any ring in society. there are no countercultures, the one that teenagers feel they are part of is fueled by puma, gap, and other brands that are expecting us to fall into a category. and thus the corporations make us fit into a scheme where we are part of a collective.
music and art have lost their meaning, there can be no proof of a god when the music that is created means nothing regardless on how the artist feels he is apart from the mainstream media and the corporations. music is a lost art form.
back in the day and i mean back in the day of the velvet underground, their music was an expression of the soul and the angst of being a drunk or drug addict per se. nowadays i turn on music on tv and it is crap. music not only that is lacking any artistry or meaning, but music that requires you to be mentally devoid of rationality in order to succeed. case and point...
...can you not tell me that art is lost. if music is the only proof that god exists, then i believe that god is dead and is no more than a great memory locked in some box in a dirty attic. granted there are some that try to find it.
cheers
ps
this is quality
when art triggered a reaction from the mind, provoked inspiration and made it possible to believe in something.
