Had to go to the airport this PM to pick up a friend. A nice rainy, windy, cold afternoon, with no Sun, just the way I like it. I really love the sound of rain falling on the car, love the rain drops that slid down the windshield, and watch the leaves sway in the trees that are in front of my parked car. Funny this year, some trees kept all their leaves, even though they are brown; even the wind could not loosen or blow away any of the leaves on the tree in front of me.
I am grateful for cell phones, since it is easy to keep in touch with the friend I am picking up today. I park about 5 minutes from the airport and just wait for his call. While waiting, I listen to the CD from the movie “O brother were art thou”…..a great movie, and I love the CD. Has some great songs, and a lot of variety, songs from the 30’s I think.
I love music but am not the type to spend hours listening everyday, I tend to like writing, reading or watching movies to listening to music all the time. I sometimes listen in the evening if I am too sleepy to do anything else, usually listen to some soothing world music when I am like that. One of my favorite artist is “Drum Sister”, a Chinese singer, a rock singer initially, but later turned to more spiritual expressions of her talent. Her best CD, at least in my opinion is called “dadawa”, is compiled up of Tibetan chants with a modern twist, a CD worth having. I have had about 10 years now and have not grown tired of it. Here is web address were you can find it if interested:
I also like heavier types of music when I get into one of my wild moods. I like to listen to Rammstien, a German heavy metal group. Have no idea what they are saying in their songs, but after some study found out that they are not some Aryan skin head group, in fact they lean left on the political curve, so buying their CD’s is not providing support for any kind of racist cause. I listen to them a few time a year, usually when driving, just crank it up! High energy when in the mood, just noise when not.
I like Krishna Das, a singer of Hindu religious songs, who sings with a deep bass voice that I find relaxing and centering when driving, sometimes not know the meaning helps to simply enjoy the tonality of the sound, for me, and I am sure for some the more important part of any song. I seldom remember the words to most songs, but the melody stays with me forever. I have found that the writings and music from other religious traditions do not carry some of the negative baggage that keeps me from giving them a fair hearing or reading.
Classical I also listen to from time to time, also waltzes and as I get older my love for more classical is slowly gaining ground, who knows maybe one day I will be an expert in the classical field……on second thought nah. Probably won’t love it ‘that’ much.
