Between notes and leaves,
Hidden words
With lengthy meaning,
Better learned when heard
In fingertip melody.
-K. Thornley
Music has influenced poems, stories, and complete novels. It touches upon all aspects of our lives and does even more than inspire. It is a tool used to recall moments in our life, from big to small, moments that at the time of occurrence we may not have cared about all that much. From simple moments on the school bus to sitting at graduation music plays a role. Simple melodies can bring forth exact replays of conversations in a slowly moving car on a back road or remind you of the moment your best friend became your best friend.
Carrie Underwood’s album “Story Teller” has been a huge influence for some of my stories (and a novel).
(Also, this may or may not be just about music. You decide).
