This is my first time writing for the ‘Daily prompt’, however this subject definitely caught my attention. I truly feel that music is such an integral part of what makes us human. For me, music is a sort of composition of various sounds arranged in such a way that can produce incredible sounds that can be deeply moving. There are so many different types of music, genres, sub genres & more instruments than I could ever list here. Having the fortune to listen to live music is such a profound intimate experience that I couldn’t imagine never going to see a show again.
When you visit a country, I feel like the two things that really go to the heart of a culture are the food & the music. Of course the buildings & scenery are important, but I feel everything about the history & the people is poured into the food & music. When I was recently in Finland, I sat in a bar on my own for about 2 hours listening to Finnish people sing Karaoke. I had no idea what the lyrics meant, but it was a wonderful experience. I had something similar in Egypt, having no clue what the band were singing in Arabic.
Without music, I would definitely be lost. I love food, but it doesn’t stir my soul in the same way that music can. I have a very eclectic taste & have been fortunate to have seen some incredible live performances. Some of my favourite have been to are Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, Oasis, Scooter, Sean Paul, JFDR, Olafur Arnalds, Ludovico Einaudi, Andre Rieu & Johann Strauss orchestra, The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Hans Zimmer, Kasabian, Gerry Cinnamon, Biffy Clyro & The Blossoms (I have been to about 100 shows in last 3/4 years).
Let me know some of your favourite music, I always love to listen to new things, so any recommendations appreciated 😊

It was only a smallish venue but fantastic. I’ll post one of their numbers I saw them play tomorrow night. What about your favourite?

Awesome, would love to see the video!
That is a tough one, perhaps Bruce Springsteen, I saw him when I was 16 & only knew a couple of the songs, but then saw him again last year (I’m 33 now), mostly the same songs, but with a completely different meaning to me now that I am over the hill 😂. It was indoors in the Millennium stadium in Cardiff with the roof closed, so a very special atmosphere.

If you think you’re over the hill, then I’m not quite sure where that leaves me, but going to a large concert like that must be something else.

Currently, I’m digging this Whiskey Neat song by Hozier.
