Sometimes you just have to let the music speak for itself. https://youtu.be/AIOAlaACuv4 To those following my blog through its many highs and lows, I appreciate you so very deeply. May your music and prose carry you up and onward into a new year, one full of growth, hope, and resiliency. Peace.
Aural Autumn
Aural Autumn: Reflections, by Jabricon
Reflections. Contemplation. Wonder. By nature, people look back on what has transpired. We envision the alternative choices we could have made. We mull over who we are, who we will become. With that, there's often a sense of longing. Wistfulness. People will tell you to focus on the present. To stop daydreaming. They will say … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Reflections, by Jabricon
Aural Autumn: The Night is Not Enough, by Join the Riot
Aural Autumn! Where music and memories intertwine, often to beautiful and creative effect. As Ironman Arizona draws near, I'm reminded of the ever enduring peace that I harbor within. Writing and doing triathlon are the two hobbies I enjoy the most, and each compliments the other in numerous ways. For every mile of pain, there … Continue reading Aural Autumn: The Night is Not Enough, by Join the Riot
Aural Autumn: Smile, by Delectatio
Smile. When I first started posting Sounds of Summer and Aural Autumn, I had so many moments where I doubted myself. 'This is dumb,' I thought, 'nobody is interested in exploring music as it relates to creative writing.' I faltered and almost gave up. It seemed next to impossible to convey how much the right … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Smile, by Delectatio
Aural Autumn: Singing of Forests, by Blure
Something has always lingered with me, ever since I can remember being a kid: People don't want to embrace loss. This world has typically been staunchly against woe. Feelings like grief, loneliness, misery, and uncertainty have been relegated to the shadows. I don't hold that entirely against our kind: being down in the dumps all the … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Singing of Forests, by Blure
Aural Autumn: Enchanted, by Delectatio
This is a moment of sudden and reassuring realization. That split second when you stop what you're doing, smile, and say to yourself, This is what I was born to do. Please don't skip it. Don't gloss over this epiphany. The one that softens your wrinkles, stills your breath ever so slightly, and catches you in … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Enchanted, by Delectatio
Aural Autumn: Weep
Music that lingers with me is hard to come by. However, songs that strike a chord with my soul remind me of one simple truth: feeling pain, remorse, and defeat isn't a bad thing. There is closure to be found in the melancholic. Peace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGqvg8XRwgk&start_radio=1&list=RDWGqvg8XRwgk Weep. We've all done our fair share of that. For … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Weep
Aural Autumn: Weese
Do you know what Urban Dictionary defines "weese" as? The guiding spirit, the worldly conscience, the reason for your existence. Without the Weese, we could not thrive, but without us, there would be no Weese at all. I hope that one day this definition will become widely accepted. Hello and welcome to my final entry in this year's Aural … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Weese
Aural Autumn: Queen of the Rodeo
What does it take to write 50,000 words in the month of November? Perseverance, flexibility, a constant desire to balance writing time with work and family, and, maybe most important of all, a story that's deeply personal to you. These are the elements that, for me, have made my first two forays into National Novel … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Queen of the Rodeo
Aural Autumn: We Fade Like Dreams
Welcome to the epicenter of peace. Tonight, I'm hoping that you might dive straight in to "We Fade Like Dreams," a lush and warm track by Manners. I'm proud to add this one to my collection of Aural Autumn music. After a long week of writing in The Wrath and the Base, my project for NaNoWriMo … Continue reading Aural Autumn: We Fade Like Dreams
