The Colors of Music

    Do you ever think about how in a song we almost never notice the instruments in the background? I was thinking, what if one instrument from the background was gone? Whether someone took away the string bass or the piano, would I notice? Would you?

    I guess maybe music is like a certain color. Take turquoise for example. What if we saw the original turquoise on a dress that we loved. So we order the dress. And then... What is that? The color is different? Would I notice? Would you? Maybe there is not as much green as the original color. It is funny that we only notice it when it's gone, not when it's here. 

    If you think about it, what do you think we are really missing when we do not give all of our attention? Do we really hear what is there? Maybe it isn't just music, maybe it is just life in general. We have to stop and see the beauty in things. Listen to the violins.
