Music - A try with Free Writing

Note: The below post is a try with Free Writing (but with a topic). So, please don't except much of a connection and logic. Free writing is an art of letting words flow from your mind without any self-criticism. And it's awesome to see how a mind can think and goes on connecting to other things <3

            I have read like “when you are into Drug (Marijuana kind of drug), you can hear even the smallest beat in a song or a music track”. That’s the effect of that drug they say.

            But, what if that Music itself becomes a Drug? Like the sound of breeze blowing over me right now. The sound of a Generator nearby. The sound of Dogs barking somewhere far.

            So, what makes us differentiate between Music and Sound? What makes us addicted to Music? Are Sound and Music really separate ones?

            Everyone has their own Music and their own definitions for Music. For some, it gives pleasure. For some, it gives pain and they like pleasure from it.

            So, I would basically say, Music may be collection of sounds. Not just the sounds from Guitar or Keyboard. Just collection of any sounds. For example, record some barking of dogs at its different moods. (Similar to different notes) and make those barking classified into different volume levels. (similar to low to high decibels of a single note)

            So, now Dog became a Music instrument. It has different notes at different decibels. So, the instrument is at our creativity to innovate and produce Music from it. And believe me, not only Bar(Roc)K music, you can make a mind blowing melody from it. (and different Dogs make different instruments)

            Coming back to the Drug, Music keeps you addicted. So, why are you addicted? And that too especially to ARR or Ilayaraja or Hans Zimmer or Ennio Morricone or Santhosh Narayanan? And why you become stoned when you hear some of their works?

            Maybe because everyone of us have their own psych levels and mood swings. Basically, Music goes with your mind. Don’t know how about others. This is just from my feelings. When I am rocking, I like to hear Parai. When I am somewhere upstairs in my house with breezing climate, I get boozed by the melody. And when I am frustrated, I hear Love failure songs and some psychologically penetrating songs like Requiem for a Dream and something like that. And when my mind gets empty leaving no place for feelings, it doesn’t want any particular Music. It longs for a Radio which surprises you with its Random Music and gives you random mood swings.

            These all are ordinary Music. A drug Music is the one which willfully changes your mind irrespective of whatever mood you are in right now. That’s the Drug. Don’t ever leave it. And that’s Parai for me. What’s yours?

            Whatever place it might be,

            Whatever People may be around me,

            Let them think,

            Let them speak,

            Let them laugh,

            But, that Druggy Music,

            Whenever I hear,

Makes my heart beat fast,

Makes my leg nervous,

And even if I can’t dance,

My mind choreographs

For every single beat of it,

And does a virtual dance

And that happens every single time

Like it’s the last time.

I will tell you one example. Just looking above right now, it’s just some clouds passing slowly over the Moon. But imagining with PARAI, it’s like the clouds are the bad guys roaming around and hurting the stars whom are the good guys. And the Moon, the Hero, goes inside the clouds, does a fight and comes out majestically with the PARAI grooving in the background.

NOTE: And finally a post which I didn't have to edit at all :D
