I've been writing my "hope is but a fading dream" blog for years now without much consistency or flow so the birth of a new blog with an alternative motive seems strange. But this blog is created with a more specific purpose in mind, rather than random at times introspective ramblings this blog has reason and structure. I can't promise that will mean it will make more sense but not much does inside my mind.
So the purpose. I hear so much music that I love, I'm sure you do too, but when a riff smacks me in the face and leaves me stunned on the ground or a melody picks me up and carries me off to a place beyond what I believe music could do, to have this experience never seems quite enough. I want to share it with others. In the passing speed of day to day conversation I never seem to find the right words to express why I love so much the band that has just been brought up, but on here I can think things through more, choose my words more carefully, and that's what I intend to do.
This I hope is not just another review blog. You will find thousands of sites on here telling you about bands, their albums, their news etc. I want to share far more personal experiences than that with you, how the music effected me, how it spoke to me and why it's so precious to me. This has purpose in 2 ways, one, it's mine and no one else can tell you about it, secondly I am not telling you how you should look at the music, not forcing preconcieved ideas of interpretation on you, just sharing what it has the power to do, in the hope that you will lend an ear and more to it, allowing your own experiences to be born.
I intend to do one review a week, time and life permitting.
Hopefully first tomorrow.
Keep well.
Peace
Josh
