A Shift

I've decided to slightly change the format in which I make these blog posts. In creative writing class, we did an activity where we listened to music and then wrote about whatever came to our minds. It was incredibly easy to find inspiration with this activity, at least for me. As soon as a song would start, my mind would be filled with an image, or an emotion, and it would flow forth from my fingertips. I felt like I could do that all day.
And that's exactly what I've been trying to do with this blog: show the meanings and feelings that can be found within a song. Show my interpretations. I've been focusing nearly solely on lyrics, and while lyrics are important, they are only one element of what music truly is. I'll use songs I know, and try to use ones I don't know as well.
So here's to the Backlit Canopy Renaissance.
