La Musica

8 months of living with an (East) Asian roomie has left me finding myself craving for (East) Asian pop, particularly K-Pop and Mandarin Pop. Beyond a certain point, I guess, music is just simply music, be it someone singing in Zulu or gibberish, it just doesn't matter. Language doesn't really stand as a barrier between me and music at all. As a lover of variety and experimentation, I've always loved listening to different genres of music and reading books on a variety of subjects. Everyone who has an ear for music or who's musically talented certainly has something (s)he can offer to the world in terms of music and we really need to appreciate that. Music and art are after all the same thing, except that for visual art, you need a keen eye and an understanding of art; but although music is an art, it is different in a minor way such that anyone can appreciate music, you don't really need a deep understanding of music to appreciate it, exceptions can be made in the case of a few genres of music, though. It is amazing indeed how much talent there is all over the world, but it is a shame that not everyone has an equal opportunity of being recognized for their talent and potential. Maybe there is space for only one foot in one shoe, or again, considering the existence of miracles in this cosmos, maybe not. K-Pop is actually quite interesting, if not for the language barrier, I could probably have a better understanding of this genre of music, but it doesn't matter, really. :)
