My kind of music

sorenbarrett

Raw bleeding, slashed, ripped from the soul
Gospel wail howling primal travail
Blue whispers blowing through grass 
Sonorous taste of strings
Gravel voice, shredding rock, digging up buried emotions scaling major peaks
A musical knife clefs disembowels visceral memories 
Unfolding innards falling, in new waves raising hair, ethereal, haunting 
Combed with folk ballads buried in jazzy tangles in a hurricane of sound
Bound in dark minor chords with a fist full of keys 
Uncontrolled shivers rap overtaking, breathless breaking and shaking
Resurrected primitive lost country throbbing beats, grungy classical melodies 
Poetic nirvana pops in savage orgasmic note slides and runs
No shiny mechanical chains staining these notes
Rare, never overcooked
Still alive
Drums ghostly heartbeats

  • Lorenz

    Your words my melodic worlds !

    • sorenbarrett

      Thank you very much Lorenz I love all kinds of music but not all music. To me it has to be authentic not machine made or altered.

    • rin

      At first, I was surprised by the wide variety of music genres. In my case, I don't know much about rap. It clearly conveys your impression of music. Unrelated, but I remember Lambada well.

      • sorenbarrett

        When young I was more prejudiced and narrow minded about music but I have come to love all types but not all music in those types. What isn't music to me is machine made or altered only authentic unalterd qualifies. And yes I do like some rap but it is not close to my first choice

      • Mutley Ravishes

        Good write, fellow music lover!

        • sorenbarrett

          Thank you so much Mutley it is appreciated

        • TobaniNataiella

          You can see them playing as you read and it reminds of some greats that passed way too early, Very enjoyable read

          • sorenbarrett

            Thank you so much my friend for the read and kind words. Yes unfortunately they are going back and remastering their songs and music with autotune and pitch correction. Why touch up the Mona Lisa?

            • TobaniNataiella

              You are very welcome

            • arqios

              Eclectic here so able to hear but submit to you that there are distinct limits as well… much enjoyed today’s offering! 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊

              • sorenbarrett

                Agreed there are always limits and each person has their own which if they dont impinge on their neighbor are fine. It is a matter of taste. Thanks so much for the read and kind words of support

                • arqios

                  Awareness of those around is cab ne in deficit as well! And that brings on a bit of drama if not checked on all concerned! Lol… I’m beginning to sound like Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau 😅🤣

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Sounds like music to my soul, dear friend! Love the flow of this! Love this in general! An easy fave! 🌹👏

                  • orchidee

                    It's time for my statement again: 'I never knew there was so much about.......' in this case, music. Then I add 'But I know now!' lol.

                    • sorenbarrett

                      Thanks Orchi for the read. Me thinks I spoke too much.

                      • orchidee

                        Fido says you know 99% of all there is to know about music - as he knows 99% of everything! lol.

                      • Teddy.15

                                    I have been listening to music all my long life and there are only two types of music, that which you like and that which you don't lile.

                                      I believe music moves us and connects with us at different levels of our being. This poem almost paints a picture of how music connects with us. Truly incredible!

                                      • sorenbarrett

                                        Thanks so much Rebellion I deeply appreciate your reviews and kind words they are most supportive. Indeed it changes with mood and also changes mood.
