For several weeks now, and for a variety of reasons, I have been very unsettled. Life has been a bit hectic. My usual solution to this problem is to reach for music to help me think things through. Largely due to an ever deepening curiosity, I have been flitting from one artist to another (coming back to Muse often) and trying lots of new stuff. These days you do get to hear so much more. I could say too much more! And to be honest, whilst it's absolutely fascinating this discovering of music - a bit addictive really - it is also a bit like information overload!!!
What I'm getting round to saying is this, today was a beautiful, bright & cold, clear winter's morning. As I drove to work I listened to Tubular Bells. And after all those years, and all those listens, it was sheer magic. I heard it as though it was for the first time. It's got some kind of energy in it, around it or through it, I just don't know what it is or how to describe it but at the end of my journey ( and nearly at the end of side one,) I emerged from the car as a different person. Ridiculous, daft, stupid thing to say, but it did reset me. I simply felt better. Music did that. Tubular Bells did that. Amazing. It took away all the mad, crazyness of life and showed me that there is a base, a solid foundation, always to come back to. It's always there. And if I hadn't found it all those years ago, well I just don't think I'd be the same person.
Sorry, had to get it off my chest!!!
