Simply Difficult.

Goldfinch60



You hear it,

Here that tune

Played by a master.

It sounds so easy,

It is such a simple tune,

But it talks to you

As the master

Plays it just for you.

But in music,

If it sounds easy,

If it sounds simple,

It isn’t,

It’s difficult,

And only the master

Can play it,

So that it sounds simple.

    A good write Gold. Ohh I know sometimes. Gotta get the pesky metres right. I've not tried hardly any 'irregular metre' songs! heehee.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thanks Ochi, those irregular metres can be fun, listen to this:

      This fine write strikes a chord with me - in art it's the same - I hate the term 'less is more' but I can't think of a better phrase at the moment.

      • Goldfinch60

        Yes it is the same in all walks of life, watching a skilled artist, composer, poet, workman even somebody digging a hole can look so easy until you try it yourself.
        Less is more is such a strange phrase but perfectly meaningful.

        Andy,

        Music is love...
        Music is heart...
        Music is life!

        Music enriches our creativity !
        We can all relate and feel it in our own way!


        A relatable write which you have masterfully penned! A wonderful read! Thank you for your daily shares!

        My love to Joyce and you!

          Thank you Laura, music certainly is life.

          a precisely penned poetical musical paradox captured and true...if ever there was..

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Neville, a paradox indeed.

            • Neville

              yes, absolutely..
