The World's Envy

MUSIC- [myoo-zik] –noun

1.

an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. Heard by countless. Listened to by many. Appreciated by few. Understood by little. LIFE for who it chooses. Many claim to have a love for music, and they damn sure probably do, but for those who have no purpose (absolutely, no purpose) on this earth but to exude, enlighten, and embody it for all its worth, should be interminably humbled and ever-satisfied. To have an understanding of music, be it as a musician or an instinctual listener, is to intuitively realize the purpose and reason for the placement of each note. For the musician's mind is a funny thing. A funny thing that is envied but also revered. Talent is embedded, predetermined, already encoded; itching for the right sequence of events and experiences to reveal itself. Once the host discovers their raw talent, it is up to them to be disciplined enough to nurture and develop it, in order to reap the rewards. Some do and some don't, it's contingent on the individual. Then there is the extremely rare 0.0001% of us that I like to call savants, you may know them as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Armstrong, Parker, Davis, Hendrix, Santana, and of course, Marley. They are all without a doubt legends and things seemed to come so easy to them, it wasn't like second nature-- it was nature. This blog is an oozing orifice into my mind, discharging mostly my thoughts on music and perhaps some other random views. Hope you enjoy and return for more. Bookmark it. -The Mad Musician
