Music as Literature with Nielly
‘Round these parts, we turn 3-minute songs into 20-minute dissertations. We pause the track, turn up the volume, and just…listen a little harder.
We listen for artist intention vs listener impact.
We listen to music like how we read literature. We listen for meaning, for context, for the one-liners that really make us think about our own lives.
We listen to music the way we make love. We listen to others, we sense how we feel, we stay present. We can always say no while we’re in search of the most enthusiastic YES.
We listen to music the way we converse. We listen to understand, not just to respond.
While I’ll take care to be thoughtful and bring depth to music listening, sometimes a girl just likes a good headbanger! I listen to music the same way I read my books: the classics mixed in with a spicy dragon romance.
xoxo, Nielly
