Sing Together

Ok, Well I had just gotten done taking a shower and was looking for someone to share what the great “Inner Self” had bestowed upon me as I was walking into the kitchen, thinking about how “Janie“ from “Their Eyes Were Watching God“ had found her “voice“ as Jody died...

 and I saw my friend playing MW2. And I realized, I've been forced to bend to people's ways of thinking for so long, complimenting their tunes like a grand piano, even when I don't like their tunes. I'm like a catalyst whose lost his own “voice” by singing to the many different and distressing rhythms of other peoples voices for so long, it dulled my own individual personality, and dulled my will to “sing“ at all. I realized then, that I don’t want to talk to the guy! In fact, he most likely wouldn’t enjoy any variation of the philosophical tunes I like to sing, and I wouldn't enjoy any song he likes.

I don’t want to talk to the guy!

I actually love helping people find and grow their voices, as well as complimenting voices (since I’m so accustomed to it), but to what extent can I be a catalyst? I have my own ideas that want to be understood as much as the next philosopher! Do I have no original voice of my own? No favorite songs? No wish to be complimented?

 If I were to look at my actions as the evidence, I'd think that were the case, however, someone knows different, and they explain to me how I actually do like hearing my own songs complimented, and how I actually love harmony between voices more then one voice dominating the other one. Singing in the right key is one thing, but harmonizing in the right key is amazing, which just so happens to be a hobby of mine.


        To all you guys who love to crush one’s idea with arguments, “logic”, and facts    It only annoyed me because it stopped me from singing, and I love singing, not to mention I love sharing ideas, even if they don't sound like their in the right tune to you. When you show me the “right pitch“, I hear the difference, and it doesn’t sound as good, but there can't be harmony if 2 people are closed minded, so instead of singing the right pitch in a way that sounds good to me, I lose the will to sing. Not that stopping people from singing is "wrong" by my definition... But then again, its a faster way of correcting a person when you feel they’re off pitch… I suppose.


P.S. This excerpt has little to do with actual singing, or music.
