As I am lying on my bed after sauna
eyes closed
savouring Tori Amos’ ‘ Unrepentant Geraldines’
I’m wondering:

What if there was no music?

Can you imagine?

Try and imagine :

No music to hear as you drive to work

no notes to ease the tensions in public spaces

No concerts to go to, no music to dance to

No songs to sing nor to rally to

No songs to let go of your pain, of your rage,

No notes to sooth your soul,

nor to smile with your soul

No musical space where to feel …

Could you live in this world?
