Music is Air
March 11, 2013
People have a tendency to think that music is just sounds.
What they don't see is how a musician breaks down,
shatters their soul,
builds it back up with
g,
f,
e,
d,
c,
b,
a,
and all the sharps and flats between.
They don't see staccatos
and tenutos
and slurs
and ties
and accents
composing the walls that hold our lives up.
They think music should be fast, fast, faster
but they don't appreciate the vibrato cries in a single long tone.
They don't understand that music doesn't take air;
music is air.
