Music is so universal, so inexhaustible, so inspirational, and tricky.. My evelasting sense of awe never quite rests on the question on how within the boundaries of the only eight notes that we have come to agree on, including the few sharps and flats here and there, one can accomplish - with interest, enthusiasm, willfulness and determination - a feat of putting together all these elements, many a-times engraved with words, the end-result of which we call a song or sound of music: a stimulating melody that tells a story, that communicates to one's innermost psyche and being, that preaches just almost about everything, to one's heart's desire.
Songwriting, I beg, seems to be the heart and soul of every music able to get hold of a listening ear and held captive in someone's imagination. It's the heart and soul of an impressive language that orbits the aural dimension of humanity, teasingly trodding, contantly, on the emotional playground of its listening mass.
