Silence

Sometimes, its not about the music, sometimes its about the silence. Have you ever just sat there in complete silence, just to relax? no noise at all, just complete silence. To me this silence is amazing, its just as amazing as music. Its amazing how loud it truly seems to be. Im not sure if it happens to be just me, but i can sit in a silent room and its like my ears are almost screaming, just waiting for a sound, any sound, trying so hard just to hear, and for that moment its so beautiful no to hear. Silence is like music.

In symphonies, There are strategically placed silences throughout the song, Some are placed for your anticipation, and others are to give you that few seconds to register what it is that you just heard. Silence is even in music. Silence is extremely important, weather we realize it or not. Silence gives us a moment to register, it gives us time to think.

If you're at all like i used to be, then you hate silence, you have to constantly have noise, weather your actually listening to it or not, there always has to be an option of noise, something that your ears are able to focus on if need be. I used to be exactly like that, i hated silence. One day i just couldn't stand anything, i just needed time for myself, so i of course went to my music. I plugged my noise canceling headphones in, put them over my ears and hit play. I eventually drifted off to sleep, when i woke up, i noticed that my music had stopped, but i kept my headphones in and stayed still in bed. I realized that i literally could not hear a thing. I could feel the ground moving from what i assumed was my dogs wrestling in the next to mine, but i couldn't hear it. I could only hear the obnoxiously loud silence.
