Music Should Be the Personal Reflection of Soul. Nuh-huh…..
Musical expression should come from deep soul reflection. That’s my cheesy statement of the day….and yes, I will refrain from the cheese for the next 24 hours…..that’s the rule.
Think about that statement, though. Each person has their own sense of taste, style and expression–and there are billions of people on the earth. So, taking into account that billions of people have different tastes—that means, Dr. Evil, that the variations of human preferences and passions could be endless.
That being said, why don’t we have more unique genre’s of music? We have classical, rock, pop, etc. It seems to me, musically, that we just have a whole lot of the same: Two million American Idol contestants, 500 Battle of the Bands competitions–and a partridge in a pear tree.
I just want to encourage each one of you to value your unique tastes. Never feel like you have to morph your “likes” to gain acceptance. You don’t need to blend in. You need to be you–remember life on earth is richer when we ourselves choose to be just who we are.
