Sorry if you're sick of me.
I have decided to do VEDIM (Video Every Day In March) but it shall be PEDIM because I write blog posts, not make videos. Some of these may be really random posts, but I would like to try it. And I am also starting a bit late, but I have always seen myself as someone who doesn't go with the crowd. So I'm going to do whatever I want. Also, I want the style of these posts to be more chatty and casual than the rest.
Today's post is about music.
Why does music have such an affect on us? Or does it? Is it only a few people?
Whenever I listen to music I cannot stay still. Even if I don't like it at all I tap my foot in time or clap a rhythm that goes with the beat or something. And it's not even a conscious decision. I just do it.
Music has a really profound effect on me. I can feel it all the way through my body, like it's coursing through me. I know how cheesy this is but I swear I'm not making it up for the sake of it.
Some music I listen to makes me want to melt. It just makes me feel so relaxed and happy inside. Soft piano music especially makes me feel like that. I love playing piano in a way that I could never explain, it's part of who I am. If you play an instrument I'm sure you'll understand. I love the feeling of creating the music, of bringing it to life. I love it when I've been practising for hours and I get it right and the sense of achievement is so wonderful. And music is such a personal thing to me.
There are some piano pieces that I cannot play to other people because it feels like I am sharing something deeply personal and private. I sing all the time. I'm not kidding. I sing around the house, and during lessons and when I am walking. I sing in my head and under my breath. And sometimes when I'm in the house with just me and my brother I sing out loud, and I do it everyday, and it makes me feel so good. I don't even think I'm that good a singer, but that doesn't matter because I love it.
Music is something that I love, something that I cannot explain my love for in a way that would give that love justice.
The End,
