Tim's hardly blogging nowadays.
And I feel like blogging about stuff I like.
Well it's my blog :P Half of it anyway.
Three things..can make me..
experience this inexplicable happiness, like a heady rush of joy, as though my adrenal medulla has turned overactive. Or maybe its the endorphins.
1. When a child smiles at me, I literally feel my heart melting. I think you guys must either have frozen over cold hearts, or are heartless. How can you not fall for children?! Ignore the wrongness. haha.
I can't really elaborate much more. It's something you really have to experience for yourself.
2. When I read something witty in a book, I am overwhelmed with sudden unexplainable feelings of admiration and appreciation for the author. I think somewhere in there is the aching knowledge that I will never be able to write like that.
David Eddings is a supreme example. I read his Belgariad and Mallorean when I was primary Five, and till now, I still stand in awe of him.
Stephenie Meyer is not too bad either, but I love her for her plotline, and for creating EDWARD!!! Okay, I might be a tad bit bias here.
Artemis Fowl. Eoin Colfer. It's a children book, but I love the outlook of a genius. Maybe I am being slightly envious here. Maybe it's also why I like Jimmy Neutron. haha.
3. When I hear really passionate, lyrically invoking music, I feel like my heart is being crushed. haha. It's a pleasant, yet torturing and addictive feeling. Like when I hear extremely creative harmonic passages, I go all soft inside. When I hear heart-rending melodies unravel themselves, my insides turn to mush. It's a different feeling for various kinds of music.
For example, with classical music, if you were to lean towards Chopin, you get the intimate, sensuous, sensations, like someone running down your back with an intricate finger.
With Bach, the musical genius, while I am most appreciative of his polyphonic or contrapuntal style, it is not something you wish to hear on a day you suffer from a splitting headache.
Mozart, brilliant composer of his time, I am most envious of him.. while we MEP girls struggle to produce a single note or melody miraculously out of thin air, Mozart actually HEARS it. What he does is not actually composing.. it's merely writing down what he hears in his mind. And it's not single-note melodies on the pianoforte, it's whole orchestral works. Now that is such a blow.
Christian music tugs on your heartstrings, when you listen to the lyrics, well when you can, and can identify with it. But I am even more drawn towards those with the creative use of music, such as Don Moen's solo instrumental passages in "God is good" the piano part in "I offer my life to You" However, I am speaking only musically here. Yes yes manda, I am an MEP girl. Go ahead, kill me. haha.
Those like Rataouille's Le Festin and the japanese anime music I occasionally indulge myself in, ignite in me the overpowering urge to dance and sway to the music. To just spin and whirl on the spot, to be able to fling your hands out and twirl in time to the music is amazing. It's pure ecstasy, I tell you. It's exulting in the unalloyed elements of music.
Lyrics wise, Disney rules. Those who have not watched Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast, I am so sad for you I could cry. awww. hahaa. Pocahantas' Colours of the Wind is the most masterful work of Disney's involving the orchestra. Of those I've heard anyway. Another of Disney's strengths here is being able to use music to create the mood, the atmosphere. And that's something that is really really difficult to do, what with the different tone colours and melodies at range.
Actually I don't know a lot of pop music. I don't really keep up. Serious. Well unless it's something good, I don't really feel the loss. :p
Blogging and writing is addictive too. Which explains why I'm here and not downstairs playing badminton. heh.
