Manic clap-track *clap clap clap*

music is inspiring. Mutemath's concert this past weekend (10/11/09) was a concert that was unforgettable. 2 days later and it's becoming nothing more than a memory now, so I've been inspired to write this blog in order to preserve the events of that night.

I've been getting emotional from a lot of things recently. I don't know if it's just a case of ultra senstivity, oppenness, or a different perspective on life, but there have been a lot of "depth-filled" moments recently.
One such moment: M U T E M A T H

Mutemath consists of 4 dudes w. the amazing ability to make some dang good music. They didn't just play their songs, tho. They took what they've made and turned it into something that music alone couldn't just express. Drum beats that made the very beat of my heart thump, weird-looking-outer-speace-yr2130-type of instruments, backflips+crowdsurfing+pants ripping, an awesome retro long-hair beardest that can play a mean cello bass, ANDDD so much more...

my personal interview w. drummer Darren King:
"Darren, you have some awesome balance. How do you do that?"
"well.. *looks at me w/ questionable eyes*.. i hope you're being serious cause I really have an answer to it.
" of courseeeee!.. *with a hint of eagernness"
"..... I use to climb a lot of trees. Theres not much to do in Missouri."

YESSSSS! THE ANSWER TO HIS SUCCESS!! climbing treeesss,....

Mutemath brought their music to life. I think that's why it was so inspiriational and struck somewhat of a chord in me.
There was a much paradigm shift in Sunday's concert. You don't have to write amazing music to be inspiring. When Darren balanced on his floor tom amongst all those people.. that in itself was somewhat inspirational. ha ha. Yeah, this is pretty much a given and I'm sure most people have discovered this a lot earlier than me (perhaps in their teens?..lucky bastardos..) but they made their music come alive in a tangible and personal way.

Amazing music + sheer entertainment= elements of delightful surprises.

Note to self: this entry seems way more dramatic than it really is, but I think the dramatic undertone adds to the "oh-so-inspirational" theme that I'm trying to somewhat give off.

So basically... go do somethign with your life, Sharon. Make it meaningful. Go bring inspiration. Or atleast attempt to... God always honors a person's willingness..
