What if life..had background music?

I personally love music..i think it's the finest art that has ever been discovered..and the most divine language..being used..

If you've played enough computer games..or even watched enough tv or movies..you'll know what im talking about..

Background music..
Imagine a life..where music is played according to your mood..in your own head..and your emotions can adjust the volume..in your head..

Ive started to really appreciate classical music these days..classical music..including music from the baroque..classical and romantic..mainly romantic period..
Im absolutely stunned by how composers can write such..beautiful music in so many parts..and many of them..flawless..
For example one of my favourite pieces if the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninoff...
This song..is so..mystical..
Every instrument comes in at the right time..playing the right things..making the song sound absolutely..heavenly..
A clarinet comes in half way through the song and plays a short 2 second part..but without that clarinet..i know the song would be different..
And amazing how Rach can write so many parts..so many instruments..

Another of my favourite composers is Yiruma..
I'm sure many of you have heard of Yiruma..
The korean pianist and songwriter Yiruma writes music..that makes you want to fall in love the instant you listen to it..

The music is written with simplicity..easy melody lines..and easy bass lines..but behind those lines of music..gives you the free-will to imagine..imagine scenery..imagine a scene in your life..imagine the good times you've had..


I strongly believe thats what the power of music has..
It has the power to create..and change..
"When all words fail..music speaks"

So about life with background music..
Imagine you..driving or walking along the countryside..and soft..music comes in..
Or when your about to receive your exam marks..and like..music from Saw 2 comes in..
I find it amusing..and yes..i am easily amused..
But now..imagine..
Your with that special someone..looking into their eyes..theres fireworks going on inside of you..inside..your jumping up and down..and cant settle still..

And your favourite love song comes into place..

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..

And I will takeYou in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes
Each loving day
I know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..This I promise you..

Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
