More About Music

Dear Kate,
It went like this:

Round 1
Me: tone: Overly casual. 
       words: What is it like when you listen to music?

You:  expression:  None.
          word, in a nutshellUgly.

Me:  emotions:  Shock, incredulity, return to calm.
        thoughts:  Interesting, a visual descriptor!
        words:  None.

Round 2
Me:  words: What does music look like?
        thought: Could you interpret music as colours or emotions?
You:  facial expression:  What's your game, lady?
         words:  Like a radio.

Me:  thought: Hmmm, not so colourful.


Round 3
Me:  words:  What does music feel like?
You:  another nutshell:  Nothing.

Me:  echoes in my head:  "Nothing, nothing, nothing, ugly, nothing."
        diversionary thought:  What lovey legs you have! Lovely, lovely, legs, lovely.


Round 4
Me:  words:  Does any music sound better than other music?

You:  words:  The Beetles and Pink.

Me:  word, of the singular variety: oh
        thoughts....gradual: Simple melody and rhythm + overflowing with angst and out to kick the world's  arse. That is something and not nothing.
        
That was how it went.

Love Mum
