The experience of listening to an hour's music you barely know in a dead language you do not understand is a strange falling and rising experience. For minutes at a time you are walking deep into it, you seem to understand. Then, without knowing how or when exactly, you discover you have wandered away, bored or tired from the effort, and now you are nowhere near the music. ↗
She once told me of a night that fumed with escapes and was filled with bedsides reeking of ecstasy; she told me the stars cast not judgments, but blessings, knowing full well the disastrous outcomes of the deeds they cradled with the strings of their young hearts. She’d inhaled the night itself, those around her doing the same, and so all become one. No disharmony. No discordance. Nothing to shatter the cause; nothing to unearth the beauty. So as we together ascended that front porch, allowing the glow behind the blown-out windows and the odious steams plunder us from through the cracks...time forgot to distill us, and our steps became as silver as glass. I could no longer deny the boiling words of my blood: tonight would be the beginning of a very long road indeed. ↗
We all know life can get hectic But if you live in the second, You exist in the present And that's how you stay connected Go through good times and hardships And if you learn to accept it And know that every struggle in life, Is there to teach you a lesson It's times like this that make you It's always the darkest part of the night, right before the sun has it's break through The spirits there to knock you down, But if you make that the end You will never know the beauty Of being able to stand up again And face it, with patience, The Pace set is dealing With judgements and hatred, Depressed hopeless feelings But I've been told, You only create your own ceilings Life is limitless, And knowing this is what the spirit is That's why I try to inhale deep, so I can find peace, and essence can find me That's why I lose myself in these beats, Let myself become one with the drum and set myself free Whatever direction life leads me, There is a purpose behind it That's the way it was supposed to be And any time you can turn over a new leaf Y'all know the truth, It's up to us to use the key ↗
Liberace was certainly master and commander of the ivories ~ he is the only pianist I can watch or listen to without suffering a case of 'Stagefright Sympathy Sickness'. ↗

A lot of people ask me where music is going today. I think it's going in short phrases. If you listen, anybody with an ear can hear that. Music is always changing. It changes because of the times and the technology that's available, the material that things are made of, like plastic cars instead of steel. So when you hear an accident today it sounds different, not all the metal colliding like it was in the forties and fifties. Musicians pick up sounds and incorporate that into their playing, so the music that they make will be different. ↗
Not that anyone minds--no one's paying attention to the music. Most of them never really listen to music. Practically no one actually does. Even at concerts people pay good money for, instead of a three-dollar cover charge, they talk through the whole thing. I feel sorry for them, since none of them understand what it's like to have a song just get into your soul and become your whole world. They don't know what it's like when a song changes your life. ↗
