=== Song Of The Day

song of the day
=== is is at all possible that the feelings between two poeple can be expressed in a musical form? can one make another feel memories of yesteryear and warm inside? if you have ever shared music with somebody special, then you may already know this feeling, but is it recognized as being SOTD. the originator of this sensation knows her name. SMILE - you may become viral!

SOTD (Song Of The Day) is more than feeling. it could actually be done and shared with millions of people at this very moment in different forms, but the true way to experience SOTD is to share music - music that you both love - which can connect the audiophiles wherever they are. distance cannot seperate. loneliness can be cured. biblical healing properties are contained in the sharing of music.

music is the strongest of connectives. you watch TV advertisements which have memorable backing tracks. you hear a song as you shop. all these snips of musical wonder are concentrated doses of SOTD being delivered to you. the song has a meaning to the listener. it may mean 1000 things, it may be uniquely ONE thing - ONE person.

so, what is this music and who creates it... what genre?

its soul, rare groove, R & B... the actual categorisation is not important. the importance is the impact of the song. when heard, there is no doubt as to wether its worthy. the general consensus is that sotd comes from stevie,atetha,isaac,james, michael... we know who they are. other names can be added, but some may be omitted so lets not. there are musical shards of gold floating in the waters, you just have to "pan" through & find the rare metals which are within

to understand the feeling, we must close our eyes and drift to a place which can best describe where you are when in this world - this feeling... come with me

a place. consider it as an exclusive club, playing the best music, admitting only true lovers.the basement under the railway arches... only a door ushering you to walk down the stairs adorned with rough bricks on either side. on reaching the basement, it was dark. two opaque doors. one with flashing disco lights and some recognisable mainstream music being played from behind it. what was happening behind this door was nothing magnetic or new. the other had a more muffled sound. as though there was another door between me and the action... could there actually be 2 doors?

the temptation was immense.

i just had to open this opaque door, which had darkness on the other side, unlike the other DISCO DOOR, behind it.

on opening this mysterious opaque door, i find a short bald black man, quietly sitting at a desk, dressed in typical BOUNCER uniform & sunglasses (in a basement?). he had a list on a clipboard in his hand. he was obviously filtering who came in!

he said nothing strangely enough, he looked at me with an acknowledging "YOU ARE WORTHY" nod to the rhythm of the music coming from behind him and ushered me through to the BIG WOODEN door. i opened it and walked into a disco-type dance floor, with the most amazing music.... YOUR SONG!

the dance floor was filled with an eclectic mix of the coolest people you have ever seen, not packed, just enough to not see too many gaps on the smoke-filled dance floor and also enough to see through to the D.J... wait... who is that... its ISAAC HAYES. he has wearing headphones and a wildly bright shirt. the sound just intoxicates...

a tall woman, size 5 feet, long dark hair in hot pants and a cheeky smile, comes and says "grab a drink - i will be right back you CRAAZY guy". how can i resist. i find my corner between the bar & D.J.

just between the D.J & bar, there is an archway with streamers & a sign saying SOTD hanging over it. smoke pours out of this room at knee level. for now, this is where i am!

the feeling?

the feeling. its that itch you cannot scratch, that certain I DONT KNOW WHAT. songs of this calibre are rarely made in the same way in modern times. modern artists tend to strike with one musical BLOW, releasing the occasional hit or two and other whored & MARKETED porous follow-ups sap at the purity of the first to make financial gain. the true SOTD should evoke a feeling of dense appreciation, from within the soul of a true audiophile. the melodies help shape modern music, but are almost disrespectful in the shameful reproduction using less powerful lyrical reconstruction or melodic infusion.

simply put, which almost should not be done, they don't make them like this anymore. in order to preserve the reverence of SOTD, music lovers intimately share them between each other and remind peers of the impact they had when originally created. the increasing lack of independent small musical outlets and the download phenomena takes away the discovery of songs by walking into record shops (what are they) and remove the availability to discover from the beholder

how frustrating it must be to hear a audio wonder, only to not be able to find it.

the death of large download torrents sites hastens the removal of such music from the masses. its best to be able to support these SOTD artists, but if the point of sale is not available anymore, just sharing them is the way... i hang my head in shame. the admission is likened to looking yourself in the mirror after a bad deed. music not being paid for may be the reason, but sometimes a war never ends, just because...

the next generation need to be educated, which may be at first difficult, but when the link between generational music is made, the new audiophiles can make the connection between the original artists (WHICH THEY TRUELY WERE/ARE) and understand the new artists choice and inspirational direction. the eventual direction the new artists take may well taint the original, but the spine of the melody, the lyric, the vibe will live on, even in a diluted form to influence another era. a bit like re-using a tea bag. the flavor weaker, but the bag lives :)

so, open your windows, run naked through the field of appreciation, show all, feel it and pass it on in the process. this is the feeling of song of the day. we all need to play our part in the legacy
