All of the musical elements that we have learned about in this book added together create these images that bring music to life for me.

Linking in music is something that I think could mean a lot of things. Music can be linked to itself in parts and in sections. Linking could also be about the combinations of different musical elements. In this Padlet, I would like to focus on the aspect of linking music to experiences. Personally, when I listen to music, I can visualize a lot from the music. For instance, listening to Chopin and Magaloff’s Nocturne No. 2 in D-Flat Major, I can see a serene, crystal clear night be brought to life with lightning bugs and nocturnal animals. I’m not entirely sure if this is something normal that happens with anyone else but I think it is one of my favorite things about music. To take a song example from Ben Ratliff’s “Every Song Every Song Ever” Dorival Caymmi’s O Mar brings the scene of an Italian family dancing in the kitchen and cooking dinner together. Sometimes the images I see are just still life images while others could be full music videos. Linking these scenes to certain musical elements is something that connects me to music in a way that I can’t exactly explain.

Maybe this isn't something that happens with other people extremely often. Music is extremely subjective and isn't seen the same by any two people. This is how music works in my head.

"These are noble songs. They seem to contain so much life that is contradictory and that does not necessarily add up : beauty and terror, low tide and high tide, systole and diastole."
Everything in life, and therefore everything in music, has a sort of equilibrium. A push and pull. These rises and falls in music can be related to the rise and falls in life and can therein be envisioned as different images and scenes.

Starting at 4:17 I can see a singular hiker battling through a heavy snowstorm. As they get closer to the peak they struggle harder and harder until they fall at the peak. The climax of the music parts the clouds and the sun shines down, warming the freezing hiker. You can see everything from the peak of the mountain and everything is worth it

The music video is so perfect for this song. I wouldn't have done it any other way. I'm not sure how to explain it but the song has a sort of vintage feel to it. Something in the way that the song is recorded makes it feel older and more meaningful . Then they add the music video and it just feels so full of love and comfortable somehow. This was a perfect music video for this song in my opinion.

"Where words fail, music speaks."

The way that I visualize music can be very difficult for me to explain. The best way that I can make people understand is by showing them examples. I think this is a very accurate quote in this sense.
