Hi music lovers! I was inspired by Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and The Walls with regards to this pandemic period. I have to say that I do feel more comfortable staying home lately, but I also have to consider how that could mess up with your brains.
The walls have been traced and our horizons seem vague compared with what we used to know. So, is there anybody in there? Does this virtual world suit your needs when maybe being unable to enjoy nature more or to see your close ones? Do you really want to do this or are you already used to stay like a rat in the house?
The answer would probably be:
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

But is this pandemic period really a show? And where to go exactly? I guess in our memories where life was still on track when things were easier and the child was not gone.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
source
So why not destroying these walls as much as we can and enjoying our surroundings and creating joy and appreciation for what we still have. And why not embracing our inner child in the most incredible ways by allowing him more time and playful moments.
After all, we are not another brick in the wall, we can do more 🙂
We are the ones that can shape this pandemic perspective and fear won't be helpful for our health. The present might seem apocalyptic, but I hope we will soon talk to others about pandemics like talking about an ended memory that improved our survivor skills and made us expressing more kindness and gratitude.
Life is not always simple and we all pass through difficult times somehow in a certain period. Music, even by expressing some negative moods can help us restore ourselves. So, I take it as a drug for the soul 🤭
Best to you all wherever you are ❣️
