journey

As most people that do know me, would know my deep appreciation for music, some good, some bad, some to the point you’d be wondering “Ian, you’re fucking deaf.”

In saying so, someone whom appreciates music just as much as me, Kevin once chunned that listening to all sorts would allow you to understand the true meaning behind every word, lyric, bass, hook, bridge, beat. In one word, the soul of a piece of work.

And we aren’t just talking about the classics, like Frank Sinatra, The Temptations, The beatles, Mozart or these iconic musical figures, but music that just hits you right at your soul, strikes a chord, moves you.

Such examples of iconic masterpieces in my book would be Oasis’s Whatever / Talk tonight and Take Me away. Their lyrics, often in riddles dies get to me as you hear and read the lyrics at the same time, most songs do anyway.

Continuing in the rock genres would be The Killers, and as my housemates would tell you, they’ve heard rendeitions of their songs, with the Ian Da Luz campos touch.

Then there’s the sad/sappy/softfie side of me, my array of ballads, which at times is rather embarrassing when someone comes in and wondering “N’Sync? Westlife?”. Well, there always a song for every moment, but especially this gebre. To me; Hope, euphoria of being and falling in love, the sadness and despair of forbidden love, love that wasn’t meant to be.

And even, trance. Yea, the state of ntrance at this moment is really crap. Don’t know why I’m getting into this genre right now. Even so, m listening to the classicslike Tiesto, Armin van Vuuren, Paul van Dyk, when this genre was still rather underground. Well, certain tracks like, tiesto’s “Sparkles” or “Vinama”, intoxicated or otherwise, does sets me on a trip. I’ll just close my eyes and let myself be enveloped by the loops, syns.

Just imagine Moby’s Procelien video; a retrospective on your life, moments in which you just wanna close your eyes and wish you could relive it over and over again.

I wasn’t stoned or smashed when writing this, had always wanted to write a iece on my passion. I finally could today, had an epithany while listening through random tracks. Music is just that for me.
