Crossing The Double-Line
Art & Lyrics
Music comes in all flavors. Styles, tempos, beats, backing instruments, and other elements all contribute to creating a mood. Sometimes, as a musician, you can get so deep into a groove or rhythm that you find yourself in a zone where you deliberate thought fades and the music flows from you as if from some other source. During the best of these moments, what comes out of you can be so other-worldly that it kind of freaks you out for a second, but in a good way. A more experienced musician can drift in and out of this zone smoothly, but if you are not able to handle the flow, you can lose concentration for a split second and hit the wall…or, in this case… You find yourself crossing the double line!
I heard this music in my head one night as I was falling asleep and had to get up and make a rough recording so that I wouldn't lose the moment. I usually keep a voice recorder next to my bed. Some of my best ideas, not just musically, have come to me while I'm in a horizontal position. I am much more aware of life’s fragility than I was earlier in life when I perceived myself to be “bulletproof”. We are forever reminding our young’uns that life can change in an instant, and not necessarily due to any error on her part. You can be grooving along when life's thunderous left hook comes out of nowhere and plants one on your chin. That said, “life” is all about participation, but you must be vigilant.
All aboard!!! Let's ride! Cheers!
