While listening to the version of the song Fragile with Sting and Stevie Wonder, I couldn't help but realize how integrated emotions are to the music you suggest, and how closely related feelings are to the sounds we hear, what are your thoughts on this?
When women come to me and say that men tend to be more visual than women, I tend to disagree cause in my very particular case a song can take you to an specific moment in your life, which would lead you to remember more accurately everything that surrounds you. I can tell you that when you take a picture and you see it down the road, you realize that the person who appears on the photograph is someone you know, you might even recognize the surroundings, but it is quite hard to locate the exact moment when the picture was taken. On the other hand, when I listen to a song I get transported to the very moment when that song meant something to you, for example I might listen to a song and my mind will take me to the very moment when I was giving a ride to a special someone, and from there I take a walk down on memory lane, evoking the memories of her perfume, the smell of her hair or her skin, the streets I was driving by, and on, and on... in general for me the memories are much more accurate and perhaps more emotional than when I see a picture. So most definitely, am not a visual person, I'd say I am more of an audio guy.
Well I o find it interesting that you are much more sensitive than what we thought. Would you describe your self as a sensitive guy?
Of course, it is part of being a spiritual person to become one with one self we must be in touch with every feeling, every empotion than can be provoked or generated. You find yourself immersed in a sort of trance where you are hipersensitive, and you are in need of letting out. You get to have the need to cry, and it is not a matter of being depressed, since you are not evoking a sad situation from the past or anything like that, is more as if your emotions need to be set on a higher ground, and that's what provides inspiration. You might even be sensitive to the point where something funny makes you cry, just because your relationship with your inner self is really tight, and any emotional movement will make you burst. It is similar to an orgasm, not to make a comparisson, but it is. It has been scientifically proved that people tend to think more clearly and in a more objective manner after an orgasm, well crying is a sort of emotional orgasm, it is a catharsis that in both cases is letting something out emotionally, spiritually and even physically.
For example, I admire greatly when women stand still when problems come to them. It is very amazing to see them as an Iceberg, which even with the tide hitting them, they stand still, unmoved, untouched, cold as ice, and it is important to come up to them and find out that deep inside that cold core, there is something beating, they need to know that it's ok to cry, and they need to have the freedom to do it, the confidence, the trust. It's a lot easier when you're there to lend them your shoulder. So it's just letting it all out, in order to think clearly an make better decisions, it's stepping up on higher ground and making a decision from a place where you have acquired a better understanding of your surroundings and more importantly of your inner self.
Well, this was the first part of a short interview with this old rock soul.
Soon we'll be posting the 2nd part of it...
