Some thoughts on music
Co-Written with Laura Amaya. For that thing that inspires us.
Music is an art as antique as humanity, from the beginning of times we had felt the unmovable necessity of sharing what we felt happened around us into sounds, beats and harmony, among others. We transmit stuff.
Music as a tool is extremely effective in such a way that it records our story, roads taken, who we are and where we lived, and its uniquely diverse.
It is normal to walk into some place and find music playing, people sharing their stories with a coffee, a smile, or tears. Even if no one is aware of what is playing, the sound goes deep inside us and creates valuable moments.
It makes us fall in love over and over again even if there isn’t a lover, and shout to us with its kindly rhythm, that we are not alone, that somewhere someone is feeling the same as what we are. It makes us travel through time and places, giving us emotions that we never tought existed.
It connects us, it makes us feel alive. It’s an expression of the most sensitive parts of this reality, allowing us to create new, parallel universes and teach us the power of being ourselves while sharing those precious instants of our existence.
We, humans, are not as rational as being emotional. Our feelings, strong, raw, and extremely powerful, help us become heroes or makes us lose focus, it´s an eternal fight on self-control over desire.
And music, is part of our humanity, its interesting how the need to show our essence combines in perfect sintony with music.
It connects us, it makes us feel alive.
Musicians are artists, there´s not doubt about that, but at the end, they´re master storytellers, crafting the ability to share stories with a song, some of them don’t even have lyrics and rely on our unique interpretation of those sounds, helping us navigate through a different reality, or just modifying, in some way, our own.
Some samples:
Below, you´ll find a selection of songs that could go well with some moods, or giving you certain mindsets:
Inspiration
Let our days be filled with passion.
Balance
Take the perfect ammount of the best that´s out there, and combine it with the best inside of you.
Nostalgia
You now what they say, living in the past is one of the worst things that you can do, but to remember it, is one of the best that can exist.
