I recently wrote a song on the piano that is slow, full of arpegiated chords, and shows emotions well. When I hear it, I personally think of a person riding in a car during a storm. My grandmother thought of rain in general. My mom and dad both thought about a gandola paddling slowly in Venice. The odd thing is, we all pictured some form of water. Why is it that one song can paint 4 similar pictures in 4 very different people's minds? Is it that everything just has a natural music to it? Or is it just the movies that played certain types of music with certain events sticking in our minds? These are some deep questions to think about. Next time you hear a song, don't just listen to the music, but envision, feel, taste, even smell the music. You'll be suprised at all you can get from just one song.
