I listened to a friend sing 'Tum Pukar Lo' by Hemant Kumar while playing the guitar at a gathering yesterday.
And then, I came across this today - I had to share it!
"After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one's tears. I can fancy a man who led a perfectly commonplace life, hearing by chance some curious piece of music, and suddenly discovering that his soul, without his being conscious of it, had passed through terrible experiences, and known fearful joys, or wild romantic loves, or great renunciations."
I love Oscar Wilde! :)

Did I tell you that I love Oscar Wilde too (strictly literally) ;)
Thanks for sharing Agila :)
Did you know that music comes from the word muse (The muses in Greek Mythology where actual demi Gods who performed).
Is it startling that without inspiration there can be no creativity??
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music...Amen
Beautiful.
words, symphony and emotions together constitute a harmony. Oscar Wilde's writings look splendidly lyrical in every aspect.
Thanks a lot for sharing. Cheers! :-)
