Don't Think, Don't Judge....

When you listen to music, what do you listen for? Do you listen for the sound? Or for the way it makes you feel? Do you listen for the meaning of every word being sung?

Me, I listen because when I do, I find it peaceful. Almost like one would in dead silence. But silence is loud. In slience you can over think things, you sit there and think or fill the silence with useless thinking. Silence you can hear all of the things you have kept slient for so long. 

I started to think about this after reading the book Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. It is a great book. And that is something that they talk about in the book. The volume of silence is louder than the noises around. This is one of my favorite quotes from the book.

“Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.” 

― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

To anyone who hasn't read it, I sugest you do. It is amazing, the plot and the way it tells both past and present, is all just beyond awesome. In a way Sarah Dessen makes it like you can relate with everything that is being said, or thought. 

But thats all for now, till later ;)
