There is a JJ72 song that I’m listening to at the moment, Desertion Its a quieter slower song than their normal fare and it works really well. Meg has a great line on her site which has stayed with me since the first time I read it. It is “For optimum viewing, come over to my house and look at these pages on my monitor.”
I’d have something a little different. In order for anyone to really have the experience of what I am thinking, how I am feeling or even as basic as what my mood is, you need to be listening to the same music I am as I type this. Without this your missing something important, something which words just can’t convey even if I post the lyrics.
For example, if I posted some lyrics from Iggy Pop’s The Passenger sure you might now the song, but I could be listening to his original version as you are hopefully familiar with or I could be talking about the much harder metalised version he does live every now and again. Trust me these versions mean different things.
Music is everything, it is not just the soundtrack to life, it is life. For anyone to have a grasp of anything I write you need to be hearing what I hear. Sometimes it is random, whatever Winamp decides is next on my playlist, other times it is a very certain double click bringing the right tune to me at the right time.
I wish I had the power to bring you a soundtrack with this, that there were no worries about bandwidth or copyright or the such. That each and every time you read something off this page you could hear what I heard when I wrote it. Wouldn’t that just be a great technology? Wouldn’t that just be an education for some of you? 😉
I can’t do it I’m afraid, I hope for the day when I can, for the time being you can just get the lyrics of this moment:
Impressions of life
Confusion is rife
I have this urge to just sit here and type stuff. I don’t quite know why.
