Well, that’s all there is,
right?
As Robbie Robertson sings:
forget about tomorrow, don’t talk of yesterday; it’s too far away.
And does anything snap us
into the moment as quickly, as forcefully, as completely, as music? Not
for me.
Ya, the big goal, the killer
homerun, the nail-biting election; they’re pretty intense. And all successful art makes you stop and
think – and feel. But music reigns
supreme. It takes you out of time and
puts you in the moment.
You can feel energy you didn’t
know you had in you, experience a dormant emotion, or get deep into an idea you
didn’t care about.
You dance; you sing along,
you listen. Music is immediate,
overpowering, total. There’s nothing
like it.
Music is right now.
