I had a bad feeling about this day, seeing as everyone else was painting up Bach supposedly made very depressing music. And this morning as i plugged myself into my music machine and headed of for work with "Goldberg Variations: Aria" in my ears I thought to myself "This is gonna be a really long day...". And then the song ended and the following four songs made me change my mind.
Bach is not that depressing just because "Air on a G string" is. Bach is mostly just airy and he makes me think of angels and birds in the sky. Stuff I enjoy thinking about.
I remember Miles Davis once said about Prince that "He uses space real well." I'd say that the same goes for mr Bach, plus he's very nuanced in his usage of that space.
Thus far into the week I'm growing slightly tired of classical music. Oh... how I long for this (no, I didn't listen to it):

BUT, the best is yet to come from this week, tomorrow it's Beethoven who's used to be my favourite, and he might still be... even though I throw long gazes towards both Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi. "Hello boys!"
Oh my gosh, I love that song. No, not the Bach, well that's not bad either, but the Jimmy Soul.
ReplyDeleteUmm, oh no. Does that count as cheating on the task since I just listened to the whole thing?
I have a rule that I only have to listen to Bach, or Beethoven when I decide what to play, not when someone else decides. Like today when I went for a quick beer with a friend and they played U2 and I felt I couldn't ask them to switch to Bach because it's my I-only-listen-to-bach-day-today.
DeleteSo, it doesn't count since I posted it for you. Easy-piecy. :)
