a way of hearing
a song on the radio. and they hear the lyrics. deep meaning. tell a story. i
hear nothing. but the music. the rhythm. the melody of the voice. my brain.
not able to process. music as speech. singing as words. it is melody. rhythm.
sound. i hear the mood. of the guitar. the drums. the strings. the horns.
but no words. only the story of the sounds. and they. they that hear the
lyrics. only half listening to the sounds. notes. rhythms. they dont hear the
music. feel the music. the words are the meaning. two different ways of
listening. processing a song. methods of thinking differing. and they cant
understand what i hear. and i cant hear what they understand.
