Last night I heard this song on the radio. I was reminded
of a friend who once quoted me a Jackson Browne lyric. (I think it was in an
email). At the time, the quote made me think of the boy I once knew and I felt as if he
were sitting next to me, reading me poetry.
Good music is like that. We understand the notes, the
words, the magic. The classics, like Mozart and Handel speak to my heart.
Country and folk music tell a story. For me, jazz is happy music. And even pop culture or rock music can
take me to a place that is worlds away. It’s poetry in sound. May you find poetry in the music.
Oh, yes! Good music is certainly "poetry in sound!"
