Its all about holding onto your dream, in this case, music, when times seem toughest. 'Emotional Playing ......'

Do you ever suffer 'musician's block'? Have you ever felt inadequate? Have you been stuck for ideas, or tried to create and nothing seems to come out? Its a 'war' inside one's own mind.  Perfectionism, lack of time, 'I'm not good enough' …. excuses abound …. eventually negative feelings can creep in  and override that 'dream', whatever it may be, [in this case music]. Frustration can creep in and 'musician's block' rears its ugly head.

Such thoughts may be reinforced, as one gets out of practice and the skills one gained eventually weaken ….. one feels like they need to start all over again; just as I did, when poor health intervened in my 'journey' and I felt that no progress had been made; that I had to start all over again; the 'fun' had been lost. …………….. My original goal: to enjoy, to escape, to heal, and to feel with music - my outlet-  had become a source of frustration. Maybe others can relate to such feelings?

Musicians are often described as quite emotionally sensitive people, whom are able to push out such emotions into, and through their music -  and it is these internal feelings that make a difference - it doesn't have to be 'perfect' - it is a journey of story-telling and of transporting ourselves and others away. This was my 'journey' and journeys can be 'rocky roads'.  

Musicians are story tellers with music, and not just with words - and it doesn't need to be 'perfect', creativity can never be 'perfect'.
- we feel and inject  pain, anger, sadness, happiness, and beauty, we reveal the emotions into the world of sound, transporting ourselves and other people into this 'world', often transcending what is 'technically correct' - yes, technique  is important too, but we try to bring it from the heart as well.

Music is my outlet. Yours too?

Whatever one's goal is; whether its for fun or to become famous (ummmm, lol), or to feel lost and escape the world of 'reality' for awhile… it is your dream, as long as it is a passion and it remains fun 

Some dear friends on SoundCloud encouraged me to keep going and I also watched some great videos about 'emotional playing' and learning how to relax into one's music without being overly self-critical. What also inspired me, in knowing that I would never become a 'concert great' :-), ... was that some great composers who achieve such passion and connect through 'emotional playing', are also famous for bad technique and playing wrong notes :-)

So - This is my renewed attempts - its a - Megs 'starting' again piece, a WIP [work in progress] and it brought me great comfort to know that I could once again, sit down at the piano and play at least; to rediscover the energy and satisfaction. To learn to be kinder on myself, to be patient and to know that we don't have to be 'perfect'  in creativity

- and most importantly to have fun in doing so! :-)

NOTE: This piece will also be worked on further and transformed into an orchestrated version with John Styles and Matt Baker, please stay tuned ….

Hold Onto The Dream - Megs McCarthy (Producer: John Styles)

Each week Sunday, time 19.43..
Time when I need to leave my dear friend.
Time when I need to slow down my dreams..

What is sound of longing?
Isn't a whisper?.. Whisper of infinite time
or maybe, maybe just a scream? Excruciating cry
"World won't stop us" She has written
I wish to believe ..

Sounds of farewell..

Evensong

Together

Since the creation of this theme it's been over a year.. 
This is my experience of how much music is able to change the state of mind. You wrote about its ability to calm hearts, rejecting grief, diminish suffering and sorrow. Indeed, he dismissed also my fears. And on the thorny road of sadness started to appear sparkling lights of hope..

Frida Boccara - Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
 Il faut oublier
 Tout peut s'oublier
 Qui s'enfuit déjà
 Oublier le temps
 Des malentendus
 Et le temps perdu
 A savoir comment
 Oublier ces heures
 Qui tuaient parfois
 A coups de pourquoi
 Le cœur du bonheur
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas

 Moi je t'offrirai
 Des perles de pluie
 Venues de pays
 Où il ne pleut pas
 Je creuserai la terre
 Jusqu'après ma mort
 Pour couvrir ton corps
 D'or et de lumière
 Je ferai un domaine
 Où l'amour sera roi
 Où l'amour sera loi
 Où tu seras reine
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas

 Ne me quitte pas
 Je t'inventerai
 Des mots insensés
 Que tu comprendras
 Je te parlerai
 De ces amants-là
 Qui ont vu deux fois
 Leurs cœurs s'embraser
 Je te raconterai
 L'histoire de ce roi
 Mort de n'avoir pas
 Pu te rencontrer
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas

 On a vu souvent
 Rejaillir le feu
 D'un ancien volcan
 Qu'on croyait trop vieux
 Il est paraît-il
 Des terres brûlées
 Donnant plus de blé
 Qu'un meilleur avril
 Et quand vient le soir
 Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
 Le rouge et le noir
 Ne s'épousent-ils pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas

 Ne me quitte pas
 Je ne vais plus pleurer
 Je ne vais plus parler
 Je me cacherai là
 A te regarder
 Danser et sourire
 Et à t'écouter
 Chanter et puis rire
 Laisse-moi devenir
 L'ombre de ton ombre
 L'ombre de ta main
 L'ombre de ton chien
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas
 Ne me quitte pas.

Ne me quitte pas
