Sounds Like: sometimes I speak to my guitar...
... when I come home after a journey or after a weekend outside it is her I wish to see at first. I hope that she, like me, has reflected upon new melodies, new music. I give her a hug and I tell her everything - like you do with a dear friend.
Sometimes we do not even have to speak... those are the best moments...when I and her become one. Then it is enough to led my fingertips run over her strings, her wooden body, to communicate all that I have inside to her and to have it transformed by her into music.
But it is not always like that...
At times I am overflowing with ideas, with words and refrains but she is fed up with playing... at other times she plays endlessly and I am not even able to make one single word come out of my mouth... like mute.
Times when we do not agree about a melody or verse...
As a matter of fact I know that she, in her soft and quite dusty shell is alive. You would not believe this until you understand that you love music and you imagine your instrument being a part of you, like a girlfriend.
You struggle, you laugh, you cry, you travel... maybe sooner or later you split up.
With her I have found a new way of experience but that is not all: also I have found a new way to look inside of me, to understand myself.
Sometimes she is mean to me hurting my fingers... but I am no better, hitting and beating her every now and then.
I think that every relationship must be lived day after day and today, me and her, together, we are Cosimo... I hope you like it.
