I never thought in a million years I would put this on a podcast. It actually never crossed my mind … until tonight.
Years ago when I was working on Breakaway The guys I worked with were classically trained.
I knew nothing about music and they gave me many of these tracks to listen to.
They are classical versions of songs by U2, Cranberries , Eurythmics and more.
Their point was for me to understand how layers of different elements can invoke emotion without a vocalist.
Years later …
When I am stressed and I do not want to hear anyone talk , don’t want to watch TV , and do not want music with lyrics or the club unce , unce , unce.
I put this on.
Since I recognize the songs some of it I find comforting.
When I left work tonight and heard of the Texas school shootings.
I just wanted to escape all the media of it and zone out.
I didn’t want to think.
I wanted to be numb for awhile
This is how I do it. I used to use drugs and alcohol to instead.
This may be something you like. Or you may hate it.
Either or 🤷🏼♂️
