Today i would like to share with you about my take on Music...Compared to my good friend urong, i considered myself to have no musical talent coursing through my veins. My parents similarly weren't musicians in any way. So you could say that i'm a muggle while Urong is a kin to a pure-blood. But i do not reject Music like the Dursleys fo to Magic.
My first exposure to music was through televised broadcasts of Disney Classics particularly Pinocchio. I still possess vestiges of memory of that mournful soundtrack "When you wish upon the star" Like the faint radiowaves generated from the supposed Big Bang that now litter the Universe, the motley collection of memory of that period remains fuzzy at best. My efforts to salvage and safeguard them is as successful as a person trying to contain water in his cupped hands.
Nevertheless, hearing that soundtrack today brings a very warm fuzzy feeling to my heart. A feeling of familiarity. To me, the song is a aural time capsule. Within the octaves resonating with the song's wonderful melody, i can really feel a rich trove of emotions encapsulated within. I feel happy. Even though my mind has failed to stop the erosion of the memory of that era, i now have a reliable source to scour for.
In fact, i feel that songs have a special feeling in my heart. They are like little virtual bookmarks in my journey of life, helping me to trace back experiences of my life at important and notable junctures in a chronological manner. I imagine my mind to be a huge "Memory Explorer" with a conspicuous folder named as "My Bookmarks". Within the surreal confines of this folder lie therein of the numerous songs that i have heard so far. Each of these bookmarks capture vividly and accurately the emotions i had at the point in time when i listen to those songs. It is really magical.
I may forget the existence of a particular bookmark over time which is natural. But i have pleasantly discovered that in the event that i rediscover this particular bookmark, the memory and all its contents held within are all still wonderfully intact. The song remained steadfast, stubbornly holding on to what was entrusted to it-the beautiful memories. I remain eternally grateful these keepers of faith for continually ensuring that the integrity of the contents remain untainted and uncompromised...
So my friends... if you're reading this, remember that the songs that play during the tenure of this blog aren't there just to entertain your ears only... It's my revelation to you, the feelings i had when i went through significant events in my life. My humble memory..
