worried about the music


Do you ever wonder if the world will run out of melodies? That someday we’ll reach the end of the notes and what will happen then? What will we do when the music is all written?

I used to be afraid of that. The end of music.

But then I thought about all the notes on a piano and how many different ways they can be arranged and how many instruments we can use to play them and the differing speeds and rhythms.

And I realized we won’t run out of music. The song only ends when our imagination fails.

  1. mmm, i like this...also, (as a side note) there are, in other countries completely different scales and pitches, so when you factor in all those combinations it really would take a long long time to run out of music.
