Music:
All day everyday.....Music makes the world go round...Because of music.....
Under schooled, misguided, misunderstood, misinformed and slightly niave people such as myself....Can go to other countries where they won't ever find someone who speaks the same language verbally, but when the instruments come out, and the music starts...EVERYONE is on the same page and "speaking" the same language.
Bridges were gapped that normally would've never been...Because of music.........
Somewhere, Some kid whose mom is a crack whore and whose father's dead is still gonna be ok...Because he's been influenced by a musician...So he starts writing music and experimenting and investing his life into music and letting his life and raw feeling transform from the burdens of his life into the motivation that's gonna set him free and teach him what a good life is like ...And music is what gives him that oppotunity..........
Drummers, Bass players, M.C.'s, Singers, Beat makers, Turntablist....Everyone and everything, everywhere.....All of it....Music IS life. Embrace it, make it, share it.....But whatever you do.......
