I enjoy composing playlists on Spotify much more than I can give myself credit for. I like to keep them short for Vocal because of my own anxieties with writing I guess. (The important part here is that I happen to cram pieces of music into random playlists and then forget about the songs for years.)

Honk MagazinePublished 3 years ago in BeatPiano Keys
It's kept in a room of high ceiling, gold, and rose walls, but not alone as through the day it is accompanied by a woman who finds the peace and at the same time the power in simply sitting down next to a piano, not just any piano, a piano which was around all her life. Since she never had the opportunity to explore a lot as a girl, music became her outlet when feeling the most alone, all the happiness and sadness became one of the most beautiful melodies every time she sat down on that little chair. Every morning and sometimes through the evening, while entering the room, with her dark blue dress, setting her hair free, let alone she begins to play the piano keys, as her eyes close shut, everything becomes a beautiful black and white, with the vision of herself dancing barefoot in the open air, every single touch of the piano gives her something nothing ever has before, the burst to feel alive and effortlessly powerful. This talent of hers has become a remedy, whenever the woman performs in front of an audience, anyone who comes across the sound of this music never fails to be impacted because whenever she plays, the crowd spontaneously starts swaying around, slow dancing, some just sit there with a glance of such enjoyment, it's as if regardless of anyone's situation, they suddenly come alive, take the initiative that the thought of her high keynotes can be taken as beautiful, wild, and boisterous. The surroundings and setting become present, this woman performed like no other, so remarkable that when the time comes to perform in towns, cities, or in a different country, the tickets sell out almost immediately.
