Dark Horse Arts and Sciences

It’s been raining for the last half an hour. Listening to old tracks, I have seated myself comfortably on my couch with a cup of coffee in my hand. It’s been days since I have sat like this, all alone, silent and most importantly, doing nothing. Anytime you find me, I would be doing something, which after a certain point eventually turned into something restless and breathless. There was no time to just sit, recollect my inner thoughts and just be there, doing particularly nothing. But finally, I have got some time today. And this time and this moment is really precious and priceless to me.

Mainly, I listen to jazz in this type of weather, where it’s all gloomy and cold outside, to just feel the atmosphere, you know. I don’t have much knowledge about the depths of music, but I love exploring new kinds of genres and bands. Recently, I have been listening to a dream pop band called Cigarettes After Sex. Their music penetrates through my body to reach a point in my heart that directly transfuses with my soul. It creates that deep cable with my soul, providing it with a sense of comfort and relief. It envelops my soul with clouds of comfort and serenity. Music is that pillow that has witnessed many heavy rains of tears over the years, but it’s still dry and will continue to be so till a point arrives when there will be no tears left to cry.

There is a YouTube channel called I’m a cyborg but it’s ok, or something like that. That guy gathers some of the most beautiful and soothing music and edit them with some video clip from a movie, giving that music a much more meaning and context.

There’s another indie band called Men I Trust, whose music is really catchy. There is a track called “Lauren” in which a beautiful girl rides a bicycle through the concrete roads through mountain and woods. The video itself is really amazing, and it makes you think about going to a hill area someday, and ride a bicycle with a headphone on with “Lauren” playing in the background. Recently, I heard some French songs that just blew my mind. I mean, I was surprised that how I hadn’t explored this beautiful music before. I don’t know much about French artists, but I listened to some Celine Dion, and it felt so relaxing and calming. So, my point is, we should just sit down like this some time and just breathe and listen to some of our favourite music. That helps a hell of a lot. And if it’s raining outside, then it’s like a heaven kinda feeling. Music certainly has that power to eradicate all the negative feelings and emotions pilling up inside due to the monotony and absurdity of our regular day-to-day life. Music is like that friend on whose shoulders you break down after having a break-up or failed the exams or being thrown out of your job. It will always embrace you with open arms and give you the comfort you ever need.
