Sometimes things change you in unexpected ways. I have been waiting for this phenomenon to subside, but after 21 months it shows no sign of abating. Not only has Harmogu's music become my favorite in the world and soaked into my being, but it has also had a more far-reaching effect.
All music has come alive to me in a way that it had not for many years. This occurs not only for the classical 70s/80s music that I sometimes blog about, but it is actually everywhere, including many new discoveries. The perpetual soundtrack in my head that used to run when I was a teenager is back, but now it is linked with words and other creative activity. My brain seems more flexible and mutable, able to elastically react in novel ways, because dormant regions have been reactivated. My Weltanschauung has altered too. So, I constantly sing songs of my own invention now, and I am so happy about that.
