"A crisis of confidence?"
I'm listening to this brilliant orchestra music but it's familiar. The bass line of the strings sounds familiar. The staccato flute hits coupled with a tinkling xylophone sound comforting. I'm listening to "Under Pressure" by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and it's really something.
Guitar and piano both have their place, but there's something about orchestral music that's really special. With a guitar and piano you get this intimacy and a personal emotion, but orchestra can lift the music. Not saying you can't get either from either, but that's the way it usually goes.
There was this stupid little quote in somebody's profile that went "I want to be your favorite hello and your hardest goodbye". It's just some angsty little quote, but I like it. I like the rhythm with the floating opposites and the actual emotional truth that surfaces. And I was trying to think of a person that was those things to me or I was those things to them. The answer is never the easy thing.
