BLUES

A sad song, seemingly simple or small on the surface, but teeming with complexities below. Melodies and harmonies and counter melodies intertwining, weaving in and out, soar through our skin and touch us at the core. The sounds pervade any verbal or physical language we might try to use. They speak to us in a way that we've never heard before and will never hear exactly in this way again. Each experience with the blues is unique. I feel the landscape of emotions, of music, of history, deeply and differently each time. And that is beautiful to me.
