a creative release that is given to us, sometimes music can feel like everything and then there are times when making music is not meaningful when thought is on other ones in the world who suffer being poor and starvation
mostly its a vehicle , a very important powerful vehicle that can touch the world in a huge way, obviously it wont blow up all the weapons but at this point only jesus in my opinion can do it
i keep raising my right hand and poofing out the holy spirit of jesus but people just keep on sucking
it sucks
im sure these prayers are miracles in some way but i cant see it or understand it today, maybe tomorrow
In a cover story on guitarist Pat Metheny in the
December 2003 downbeat, that article closed on page 44 with a quote from Pat:
"When people make a list of what jazz must be, I try
to get as far away from those requirements as possible," Metheny says. "Jazz isn't a noun. It's a verb. It's a process, a way of being, a way of thinking. That's why I'll resist to my dying day any efforts to turn jazz into aform of music in the same way you refer to Baroque as a style. Jazz is music that demands
change."
Music is the semiotic, the pulsion, the fluidity of communication we store in the pre-linguistic chora of the transcendent Imaginary; it bubbles and baubles and bursts diaphanous radiating waves of being beyond all forms....language cannot hold it like a vessel.... it rebels, revels, joyously, ecstatically, says the unsayable, reaches beyond and expands the outreaches of orgasm, the outreaches of universes, the beginning and end of time.....
cassia's colorgasmic excitations
and the words that transcend are the words finding musical magical meandering patterns of meaning ecstatically yearning
The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, 'Is there a meaning to music?' My answer would be, 'Yes.' And 'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?' My answer to that would be, 'No.'
Aaron Copland (1900 - 1990)
It was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.
i like this thread...
what that old horn blower said about "if you don't live it, it wont come out of your horn" that is so incredibly true, and probably the reason why i can't do covers...
first a HUGE thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. i come here for inspiration and you have all helped me.
music is..."medicine for the soul", or how about, "soul food"
or "ear candy"
those are originals
those kinda sum up what music is to me. we are all so very lucky to have so much wonderful music surrounding our lives. pearl jam's music continues to inspire. there has never been been a valley, just a huge crest, on a really big wave.
....breaking the sounds of silence in the heavens,
......like giving light to those who maybe blind.

bono's words:
"all good music is either running towards God or running away from GOd"
i like that one
the belief that a single held and carried note can convey a lifetime of storied wealth; that a bevy of notes can carry the weight of a single word.
i heard a sting interview yesterday and he said this....
"music is...it's own reward"
then he went on to talk about no matter how big or small music is, it's very powerful. whether their is an audience of 1 or 10,000.
i stole this one from another list i'm on
breathing to its own beat,
in its own rhythm
in harmonious voice with
all living things
everywhere.

Not crazy, but not easy either.
good like wood.
Music is NICE.
nice like spice.
--original. Except for "good like wood". Will Ferrell said that. But he didn't say it about music.
