How does music capture your attention?

-

Music makes me feel things. One song I remember is Steve Vai’s G3 performance of whispering a prayer. I heard this song for the first time through a cassette and I remember tearing up. I listened to the song with goosebumps. 

Music also makes me think, through lyrics. Thermal and a Quarter is one band that comes to mind. I pay close attention to their lyrics because the lyrics are relatable. One tune that comes to mind is called The Steal. The poetry and the song content is amazing. The lines that stand out reflects the current political scenes here. "Cause when the roads are all done There’ll be no gas for my wheels” reads the lyrics. 

Music also captures my attention with groove. I think Victor Wooten is a master at this and he sometimes plays behind the beat and the groove pocket sits so damn well! 

Music also captures my attention when it’s challenging. It makes me wonder how the musician is able to do this. Most musicians I follow, are mind blowing in their own rights. 

What’s yours?

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
