music is one of the most relaxing and mind emptying music I know of. I am the
type of listener that is open to hearing just about anything. A lot of what I
enjoy is very complex however on the other end of the spectrum I have a
tremendous love for simplicity and pure beauty.
What I
discovered on The Land of Nod Lullabies
for the Listless is everything I enjoy about an instrumental new
age/contemporary listening experience. The pace and approach is gentle yet
inviting. It kind of feels like you are in slow motion falling into a bed of
feathers or floating on a cloud. You can visualize these things just as you
start listening and it’s not hard to make it all real with the help of this
beautiful guide we call music. This can be your own “Chicken Soup for The
Soul,” or your “Chop wood, gather water” kind of outdoor spiritual connection
that the people who founded this great land of ours had.
As the
title indicates this can be directed at children and adults alike. Regardless
of age, we all do respond to colors, aromas and sounds. I think music has the
power to create different experiences for the senses and it can be used for
meditating or just to have on for some nice background music because it does
not demand your attention or sound intrusive, it puts you at ease and relieves
tensions. There are all sorts of therapies and drugs out there for relief of
many problems and ailments but the one thing that remains more powerful than
them all is music.
When I
listen to music like The Land of Nod
Lullabies for the Listless I am inspired to write about all these thoughts
and feelings that the music helps me to realize. It is engaging as a lively
conversation, although it is best to have it on an internal and spiritual level
if you need healing. I am far from being listless but if you are this music
will remove that condition in relatively short period.
One
track seamlessly flows into the next like water from the roots of a tree to the
leaves, bringing life and color to them all. Unequivocally music can have the
same effects and meaning to a listener ready to receive it.
The
Land of Nod Lullabies for the Listless is unencumbered art in motion,
it is one man and a piano bringing these beautiful sounds to life with
keystrokes that are channeled through him. I am continually amazed at these
gifted individuals that bring me such peace and joy. This is musical perfection;
a once empty canvas is now full for all to enjoy.
