Do you find music moves you? Do you feel it all over? Or just use one sense when experiencing it? I find that different music affects me in different ways. When I'm alone and relaxing I tend to sway towards an ambient sound, Groove Armada being my favorite of these. It's like soft feathers all around me, tickling me with a warm breeze. Or sometimes I like a folky-jazz like Nora Jones, Her earthy sound makes me feel like I'm down south with iced tea and cypress trees, rocking on a porch in a greek revival style home with white pillars and sheers billowing in the hot gentle wind. I have a strong affinity for Blues as well, I think a Rolling Stone Journalist said it best when he wrote "Rock is like sex while Blues is like fucking". He must have had Jimmy Hendrix playing on his ipod when he wrote those words because when Jimmy plays you can feel him everywhere.
This summer London is hosting it's seventh annual music festival "Love Box"that lasts two days. I would sell my soul (if I had one) to go to that. I would be in some kind of sustained rapture. I think I'd be overflowing with inspiration. Ah to be 18 with no responsabilities again.....Well the best I can hope for is watching snippits on line and trying to feel the energy through the super highway. I think I'll pick this topic up again another time, I could write about music forever because the varieties are endless.
