Q&A

how does music move your soul? how does it make you feel when you hear a song saying exactly what you are thinking? does listening to an old hindi song give you the goosebumps just as much as a hearing metallica live? does listening to brahms being played by your extremely talented roommate make you smile as would erykah badu on your headphones in a metro? does a young boy rapping on the footpath inspire you as much as a record-breaking song?

do you sing aloud? do you sing aloud only the favourite lines of the song? do you recommend music to people? have you ever bought a cd just by looking at the cover or because you liked the name? do you go to a rock pub with your lover and then go home and listen to nusrat fateh ali khan? do you ever think “this is the perfect moment for that song”? do you play the same song back-to-back about 20 times because you think its so great. does a song make you cry?  did it make you laugh?  do you get up and move because that song just cannot be heard otherwise? do you ever switch on the radio because the silence is too quiet?

you do?
yes. you do.

is the music your soul?
or is your soul the music?

where are you? do you carry your music with you? do you take your soul along?
you are my music. i take you everywhere i go.
