It's not what you hear. . .

This will be my second blog (the first can be found at ejstern88.blogspot.com). While my other blog is more about my general thoughts (though it's pretty much a world cup blog atm :P) this will be music-centric . If you asked me the classic blind-versus-deaf question, I'd choose blindness over deafness, just for the sheer fact I would never be able to enjoy music again.

Music is not meant to be heard. It is meant to be felt (hence the title Synesthesia). And so I bid your mind and body safe passage on this journey. Godspeed.

Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/Eclipse - Pink Floyd

There's so much to say about this entire album, yet it's impossible to put it into words. No analysis, just raw emotion, passion, transcendence. That, my friends, is how music should be.
