If you read my blog posts, you know that I have a profound love for music in all genres, and I have found power in music. The ability to create my own sound for others to enjoy is so empowering to me, the fact that I can create the joy I feel when listening to music for others is amazing. I discovered this power in 5th grade when I started playing piano, and eventually getting involved performing at talent shows to seeing everybody loving my performances (one of which I played the piano blindfolded). Moving ahead 5 years I was introduced to a producer program known as Fruity Loops, and got absorbed into the program and started learning the ins and outs. It's been love ever since, and I'm hoping it turns into a career.
Though music can get me through tough times it doesn't always help in every situation, I feel a loss of power when somebody is feeling down and I can't do anything to help them. People tell me a lot I'm a very emotional person, and I can understand why considering I'm always worried about making people happy and laugh, but get disgruntled when I'm unable to. I also tend to lose power when related to music, sometimes I get a producer's version of writers block, where I sit at my piano all day and can't come up with a new melody. This can be frustrating when I'm trying to become the next best super producer, but I can't come up with anything. It's a process but luckily it doesn't last very long.
Music is always changing, which is why you always have to have your ear to the ground to predict what the next big thing will be. To increase my power in music, I spend hours of my day trying to come up with melodies on my piano. I also search the Internet, buying any new sound packs that I can that will give me the upper hand on other producers on the same level as me. Listening to current and old music is also important, for both ideas and inspiration, a lot of the songs you hear today used some part of an old song to be created. Finally I take my music around to different people and get their opinions on it and use what they give me to perfect the craft, thus building my power. Keeping power in music is all about the adaptation process to a forever changing landscape.
When I Was A Limitless Child
When I was a limitless child I dreamed of controlling the world.
Owning mansions with a garage full of cars.
Building skyscrapers that the world would gape and awe at
Fly around the world and surf the oceans
Support my family without any worries.
I dreamed of flying like the planes I admired from my window
Becoming famous, not for the notoriety but to make change
I dreamed of owning a zoo where I could own whatever animals I wanted and pet the tigers
Flying across the universe and discovering new planets with the astronauts I watched on TV
Climbing the tallest mountain just to see the view.
Owning the most popular construction company in the world
Having riches beyond anybody's wildest dreams like the movies
Knowing limitless amounts of people, and making new friends everyday
Wearing the coolest new clothes to get more recognition
Being the model child, but also one that everybody enjoyed
When I was a limitless child I learned the sky isn't the limit, it's just the view
Great piece!
ReplyDeleteMusic is power that's for sure. It's interesting you go on to write about being emotional, as I think all good music is "good" if it connects to people's hearts/emotions. That's why I love soul music so much, and I say that I love any type of music, as long as it has soul.
That's the connection for people.
Great journal piece. Again, you've got a well crafted essay that is a pleasure to read. You express yourself very well in writing. Maybe another power?
Your poem is also very imaginative. It goes to all sorts of places (even to outer space), but the flow keeps it together. It even seems to increase in intensity towards the end.
Very cool.
Cool pics, great design.
