When was the last time a melody, a progression, a moment of sonic genius, a phase, a passage came crashing down into you, your heart, your brain and your body – bringing along with it a whole load of emotion and memories? I had my moment right now.

It may prove futile to try and convert my current state of awareness into a redundant, linear pattern of prose – a job that gets harder with my limited vocabulary. However, this is the essence of music, folks. Something you begin to love the deeper you get into it. As you start associating every aspect of your life with music, consciously or subconsciously, it begins to behave as a harness, a running hard disk cache of those ‘moments’ your everyday life. Here’s to more of those moments.
