lost in the song

Where else do you lose your 'self'?

I mean the one that gets created to sell

that everything's fine

and you're on top of it.

Not the one that lets tears

fall down to her chin.

And sings really loud

not needing to know

what key it's even in.

Turn up the volume

be lost

and be found.

lost in the music

There's been no music in my furnished apartment so far except for what comes out of my computer. But that's not background music while I'm working, no matter how much I turn it down, if it's right in my face.  Finally I worked out the little stereo and found a cd a radio station even - what had I forgotten?

A whole world remembered.

The winter of my quiet hibernation was delicious.

But now

there's music in my i-ears

And life flows again

Music transports

I lose my self there

and I don't even play

I didn't even know the music of Esperanza Spalding 

but I saw a photograph of her playing and I knew.

All of her was there.

Now I really get my mum's expression 'see how the spirit moves you'

I feel it - when I lose my 'self'

then my spirit comes to play

To all those music makers

who've set my soul in motion.

Gratitude

To Rupert and to Prabhu

To Jo and Edo

And Vanessa and to Moo and

so many many more.

To all those I don't know

from music mixed for moving

and accidental moments

driving in my car

what a gift to us you are

thank you

what are you 

listening to?

and how does your spirit move you?
