“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
The sun is soaring in, from the window and right onto your skin, I've never seen anything quite that beautiful, picturesque. It's a Saturday morning, as usual I have nothing to do. I go out with iPod and coffee again. Yes, same old rant it seems like but out of nowhere. This song 'Eddie Vedder & Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - The Long Road'
pops up.

And I wished for so long, cannot stay...
All the precious moments, cannot stay...
It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay...
But I feel something's missing, cannot say...
Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths just falling down, down, down, down...
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
There's no need to say goodbye...
All the friends and family
All the memories going round, round, round, round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
And the wind keeps roaring
And the sky keeps turning gray
And the sun is set
The sun will rise another day...
We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
There's no need to say goodbye...
All the friends and family
All the memories going round, round, round, round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
How I've wished for so long
How I wish for you today
We all walk the long road.

i have goose skin durin´this song ... it´s whole transcendence and life philosophy ... overcoming sadness when someones died. I have a very soft spot for this song. Not only is it a fantastic song in its own right, it was the catalyst which introduced me to the incomparable wonders of music. When you dont have anyone to talk to, anyone who understands you, or no friends. I guess thats when music walks in. Sadness and happiness, both are ok. Its the transition that kills. It started raining, though it ruined the coffee I couldn't run away from this. Such eloquence, solitude and rain and this moment i stopped taking music for granted. I shall stop writing becuase I sound like a 'emo' guy. Let me leave you with a quote, becuase the only thing that can express the unexpressible, after silence is music.
“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent”
― Victor Hugo
Yes, music has that distinct quality of doing, saying, making us imagine the unthinkable...
