#Intermission music series

This music series will attempt to capture and re-live some of those personal experiences with specific albums, as experienced by some of us self-declared music savants. The rush of emotions, whether inspirational, humorous, energetic, or melancholy, that it gave to you in that moment. Where and when you saw that artist live in concert.

It’s often about where you were when you heard a certain song or album. Getting a shade deep here, music is not only about the sounds and/or the message within, but it’s about the actual experience of it all, as I mentioned earlier. Is that a man? Woman? Group? Band? Orchestra? Seems like there’s a billion new artists crashing the airwaves every other day.īack to the concept at hand.

Because I personally have never heard of that person. “Hey, have you heard the new (*clicks on Spotify’s New Releases section*) Giveon track?” The task is sometimes as impossible as pronouncing some of these new artists’ names today. But when there are just too many choices, there isn’t enough time to listen to, and align everything that even your own peeps are listening to. It’s certainly not always a negative thing, as having options and variety are/is good in life. A big reason for that is because there’s just too much music today. With everyone’s attention span now measured in nanoseconds rather than minutes or moments, it’s challenging to absorb and retain the same level of musical experience. Much (not all) of today’s music doesn’t carry the same level of overall quality and lasting appeal as in the past. The Intermission desperately wanted and needed some music content.īut let’s start by having an honest moment here. Start by checking your pulse (which is a form of music on its own). If you disagree, you might not actually be human. That might sound overly dramatic, but it’s entirely true. It breeds and strokes every strain of emotion and keeps many of us moving forward. Music is so very important within the human race’s culture and existence. Visit The Queue‘s main page (as well as in the top/side menus) for all series content.
