A Quote on Age

7/11/2013

 
Age is a cage where I sit and watch my youth pass by, 
Though I cannot run as fast as I did before, 
musically I think I am better than ever for sure. 
Should I be missing my youth, 
or thank the Lord and rejoice in the
everlasting magic of the music.

A Quote on Music - January 2009

7/11/2013

 
How does one put the spiritual significance of music on paper? Music transcends all languages and barriers and is the most beautiful communicative skill one can have. Music makes us all experience different emotions or the Navarasa as we call it. Different types of music, whether it is vocal or instrumental, Eastern or Western, Classical or Pop or folk from any part of the world can all be spiritual if it has the power to stir the soul of a person and transcend time for the moment. It makes one get goose-bumps in the body and mind and equates the highest mental orgasm and the release of grateful tears!
