Too Much of a Good Thing?

Well! Have a new thing I want to experiment with!

This one involves music...

Music is an incredible thing. How there is so much that is said, experienced, and emoted in just a couple of seconds of music. A picture is worth 1000 words...a musical phrase is probably up around there as well...Music moves me more than anything else. It shapes us more than any could imagine. It's a language all understands 'cause it touches more than just the ears, but the heart and the soul.

I don't know anyone who just doesn't "like" music...

Basically...as I'm sure we all have experienced...we don't like EVERYTHING in every song we love. Back when I was a teen, I actually had to buy the entire "Backdraft" soundtrack to find that ONE track, with that 45 second section that is used in most movie trailers...this was before Napster...

Now there is Spotify, iTunes music store, Amazon.com etc...so we can finally just buy that one track we like and not have to worry about an entire album.

I want to take it one step further...

Like I said earlier, sometimes even in those songs, it's just a section we love...or there is a part we don't like or we "wish this wasn't in the song."

For the 5 of you who read this, who don't know me, I work in sound in film. I have the tools to remove basically whatever I want out of a song to make it what I want. So that's my plan!

I am going to take all my favorite songs and put them into Pro tools, and basically have JUST the parts I like! Edit them so it's just what I want. Just what I love. Just what moves me.

Things I'm curious about...will they have the same impact? Are the "low" parts of the music important to us to make the "high" moments even more meaningful? Or is there so much passion and emotion embedded in the high moments, we don't need the low? Can we just have straight awesome for hours and hours and hours and hours...with no break?

Also, I want to make a day...a day where I only listen to these tracks...and ONLY do awesome things. Things that make me happy...good things...joyful things...the "perfect" day...can there be a perfect day? More info on what I would consider a "perfect" day later...

Will this just be too much of a good thing?

Let's find out! :)
