I love music but it is not often that I actually peel back the layers of songs to listen to them properly. Elbow are a superb band and I have heard them many times but I haven’t actually listened to them.
Which is crap.
On refelection I think this is something I do far too often. I don’t think it is just music though. I thinks its also when I’m going about my daily life. I am not always paying attention to the sights, sounds and smells of everything around me.
Another thing i don’t pay attention to is food. I love food but all to often I just eat it while I am literally chomping something elso in my mind rather than paying attention to whats in my mouth.
This is also crap
ok, so new (now 38) shaun is going to CONCENTRATE on what I am experiencing rather than just cruising along through life and not really paying attention.
N.B What me me think about this was I “listened to” the following lyric from Ribcage by Elbow
“I wanted to explode.To pull my ribs apart and let the sun inside”
Which is exactly how I feel when I see a new dawn.
