Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding
I just took a musical bath. I listened, for the umpteenth time, to Puccini's La Boheme. I can't begin to understand how someone could ever create such a thing of beauty. There are many 'songs' that compete in their individual beauty, but no other opera, play, or body of singing that even comes close, for me. You?
In popular music i can listen Bob Dylan and Baez for a day....Or Elena Frolova... There is poetry in their songs... When music is simple i need poetry to go to ectasy... ( when there is poetry in a song i can even "understand" Russian otherwise i dont understand even english nor french ) Understanding is not what we think it is... It is not always "catching" it is often "resonating" ... |
RE: Tibetan singer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyutcSi0Rx8 This I like every much. . . I can definitely feel it "resonating" ! In fact, because I do not understand the language, the music bypasses the mind and acts directly, on a purely vibrational level. Ironically, in the West, "to be "out of one’s mind" is regarded as a tragedy.
