The Hamlet Project

One of my favorite songs came on in the café I’m writing in. For the most part, café music isn’t so much music as an aural landscape – just more noise, creating atmosphere. But then – a song like “Tightrope” pops out of the blur and it’s no longer just atmosphere, it is killer music, music that makes me move, even while trying to appear like this music isn’t moving me, literally, from the soles of my feet on up.
Sometimes it feels as if we should have less music around so that we can really hear what there is – especially the good stuff that shakes your bones.
