..of nothing in particular

Just sitting here in my little cubicle trying to get some work done and listening to some drum-n-bass, and I noticed just how mindless (and yet well thought out) some of these tunes are. If you try to analyze them they just won't make much sense. But once you go on with whatever you were doing and ignore the tunes, you are suddenly transported to a place where you just "understand" what these tunes are saying. And the message is always the same...

• Don't pay attention to the music, for it has nothing to say. Everything that needs to be said has already been said many times before. Just keep doing whatever you were doing and let the sounds get inside you and put up a shield between you and the harsh realities of the world. Enjoy the pleasure of the solitude combined with the sounds. Focus on one thing or focus on nothing. Let the tunes work your mind and body in a way that gives you pleasure but does not distract you from your focus.

When I wrote my second piece "Lord of All", I had a purpose and a goal. I knew what I wanted it to be. But by the time I got done with it the message was exactly the same. It's kinda cool when you think about it. :-)
