Music gives me a space to feel my emotions completely. It mostly amplifies what I’m already feeling to the maximum, and it helps me clear things up, but also to just get lost in my emotions. I’ve often come up with stories while in this music-induced state.
Thank you so much Ariana. I haven't, strictly speaking, collaborated with Kevin on this. Just ended up doing this without his permission. Thankfully he didn't mind. 😀
Music is everything that has ever been and everything that can ever exist in every shame and sound imaginable
Love it Katie. Music is reality. Reality is music. Here's a short poem for you!
______
The shape and sound of music
is the shape and sound of life.
It's everything around me here,
it's everything alive!
.
When instruments create the sounds
that turn the air so sweet.
I go back to my music app
and play it On Repeat! 🤗
this is lovely! i will think about it every time i put my earplugs in xxx
That's so sweet Katie 🤗

I hope you listened to Lost Horizons then, because that's exactly how the album makes me feel, Andrei!
Here's a mini poem for you:
------
Tunes and beats and melodies,
they amplify my soul.
I feel myself completely when
the music takes control!
I haven’t yet, but I will. Thanks for the awesome little poem, Punit! I’m curious what poem you’ll come up with when you read my post tomorrow!
Excited and looking forward to your next post Andrei. The poem will reveal itself to both of us soon!
Can’t wait!
Thanks for the recommendation to Kevin's Substack! Just subscribed...
Great idea, Punit!
I'm so happy that you discovered Kevin because of me Graham. One great writer discovering another. Love this!
Here's a mini poem to prep you for the awesomeness that is Kevin's Substack:
------
His music taste? Impeccable.
His choice of words? Divine.
His name is Kevin Alexander,
his posts, they always shine!
I love it! Thank you. This is a gift. :)
I started off and wondered
if this post felt like a grift.
But when there's joy writ in the words,
it turns into a gift.

I'm a big fan, Kevin. Writing in your voice made me feel happy. Please keep doing what you do, it's a happy place you've built!

This was better said than I ever could. Thanks for sharing these lovely lines!
I love this idea! This is going to be such a cool series and sweet way to collaborate with fellow writers!!

When life is lived in simple ways,
when deeds are done with pure intent.
Then even on the harshest days -
with you, the world remains content!
I love this idea!
Thank you so much 🤗
I still remember fondly when you published my bread recipe. Here's a mini poem for you!

Through words and pics
and sounds and vids,
through email and through post,
I co-create this world of mine
with those I love the most!
I remember your bread poem fondly!

Music makes me feel like I connect to a higher place. I've always felt music is the universal language....but then there's food too! LOL
That's such a pure and beautiful love for music. Happy to have you here at Hello Universe, and I hope you subbed to Kevin!

A language made for everyone
connected to the skies.
I love music, 'cause everytime,
it takes me up to fly!
Thanks Laurel for such an amazing description of music. This was so pure!
Here's a mini poem for you:

A feeling that's beyond my words,
of thunder, lightning, showers.
Music takes me into worlds.
It's magic. It is power.
