"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
-Dr. Seuss

Music is an intangible art, difficult to describe but easy to experience...
a periscope on the piercing resonance of the human condition:
aspiration imperfection apprehension introspection
life = music
music = life
the music:
"if you look at music the way i do, its not about how perfect a song is that makes it worthwhile to listen to. music has a time cap like life and its within that time cap what you make of it that matters most. a song would be a total waste if you tried to perfect it in every way, shape and form. likewise, the perfect song would never end because of the constant editing and revising. but we all know that the perfect song is neither realistic nor is the perfect life. so if you look at life the way i do, its now about how perfect your lifestyle is that makes it worthwhile to live. life has a time cap like music and its within that time cap what you make of it that matters most. so stop trying to live the perfect life and just listen to "the music".
