firstly let me say that I think that my writing skills and general ability to use words are too small to properly describe the music, that i'm going to eye with.
writing about music is like dancing about architecture, the classic said, but seriously at the moment, it seems to me that dancing about bauhaus would be easier.
all this because something is drilling my heart in a positive way. and that's why it's so difficult to grasp, and thus - to describe.
second thing i want you to remember - i tend to get overemotional about things and what i'm going to write is as subjective as it can be. and maybe it's a bit strange fot me to be an emotional exhibitionist again, but hey, what are blogs for? so please frgive me if i sound like a 15yo emo kid.
i feel so little, smashed and knocked to the ground right now.
i usually measure my admiration for artists in my very own "scale of antony". he got me so blown away few years ago, that now i say "sth hit me as much as antony had". but usually i mean the emotional side, the music has nothing to do with antony.
all of a sudden ...
i know, this is the cover song, but believe me, the author's songs are equally good.
i totally appreciate the trained voice and music education of cn lester.
not that i don't appreciate ppl who just-have-the-talent, but just like that, in spite of all my love i have for non-professionals, sometimes it's really nice to listen to someone who can accually read notes and sing on their basis. i have the impression that every note, every sound is created intentionally, without any possible randomness.
this is deffinitly not the music created by accident.
and why do i link it with antony?
because of the level of lyricism, because of the piano and (of course) the voice. or rather, something that the voice wakes in me. i said it before - i can't describe it, it'so to hard to capture this feeling. such emotions should have some sort of a separate name.
great music doesn't need loud drums and smashing the guitars on stage to make you feel an earthquake inside.
time stops, and the world begins to disappear.
sometimes i want to experience music in concrete situations. while travelling on a train, a plane, lying on the beach, wandering through the city.
i'm listening to cn and i wanna do it other way round. i want abstract myself from the world around me, i just want it to be me and the music.
i remember (haha again a dentist stories / i wrote about my dentist - dominika few posts before) visit at dominika's once. we had our own tradition. i was bringing my favourite albums and we were listening to the music together. i began with david bowie, than got to the depeche mode phase and after a few years i brought 'i am a bird now'. right after few minutes, dominika said that she can't concentrate and this is not the music that you can listen and take care of other things.
i go a little upset then. such a slap in the face. but slowly i started to understand what she ment.
i like to focus on the music, the melody, the words. forget the world outside.
cn has a similar level of sensitivity, that antony has.
i wonder whether that sentence would even make sense and if it's understandable, but this is exactly what i feel. and that level of sensitivity truly refers to mine. i don't really see the sense of inventing more adjectives to describe how this music got me amazed.
i was just punched with cn's music and i'm really fine by it.
and can't wait to hear more :)
