Hello everyone!
Again another weekend and more time to participate in another "engagement" prompt (146) in the #WeekendExperiences community hosted by @galenkp who suggests us different topics so that we can choose one and share one of our experiences.
When I have seen them clearly I knew which one to choose: No words, just music. And it's Sunday a good time for listening to some nice music, right?
No words, just music 🎵🎶
Sometimes words are not needed, a melody can make our skin bristle and transport us far away. We get carried away and lose our senses thanks to the music.
Music has something magical and can inspire us, and we don't always need to accompany it with a heartfelt text, because the notes and the harmony already tell us everything.
An instrumental track that I simply love is any track by Ludovico Einaudi, a famous pianist and a great expert in instrumental music with a clear, pure and exciting message. He is a magnificent Italian composer with melodies that you may have heard in movies and advertisements, without knowing who he was, but some of which may sound familiar to you.
A colleague recommended it to me many years ago because he knew I would like it, because of my sensibility and also because I like Italian things in general, although in reality that doesn't matter in this case. But the melody that I listened enchanted me, literally.
I fell deeply in love with those notes that reach directly to the soul, and I wanted to know more, I listened to more songs and they are all loaded with feeling, and they take you to the depths, to the most divine. Because the music is beyond normal.
The magic of a piano song 🎹: "Nuvole Bianche"
And among all his amazing songs I share with you the first one that I heard that changed everything for me: “Nuvole Bianche” in Italian (White Clouds). It is true that we can see in his songs, notes and titles a connection with nature, a perfect connection. Elevated music that elevates us and can take us to a state of relaxation, almost like a dream, you only need to close your eyes, and sometimes even your fingers get carried away...
I really like the vibration emanating from these instrumental melodies, what they mean and what they make us feel, raise our own vibration. Because music vibrates, and vibrates within us.

But I was also lucky enough to be able to enjoy the experience of hearing those wonderful melodies live, and it's even more impressive. When I was in Lisbon I saw a poster of his announcing the concert and I didn't think about it, it was my chance, when would I be able to be closer? Well, he usually plays in the big cities of the world.
I got the ticket and I was enthusiastic, I didn't need anything more than to hear him and with the darkness and the effects of the lights I felt myself effectively transported to another magical world without the need for a single word or movements other than those of his fingers on the piano keys. An excellent mastery of the instrument, with the greatest elegance and delicacy possible. It is possible to hear something like that, it is pure magic.
I have also found another video on Youtube filmed live by another spectator who was also there about five years ago, another privileged person who felt goosebumps, an irrepressible emotion that even overflowed in tears. Music is full of feeling.

I don't think I've felt something like this at another time, a sensation that is difficult to describe with words, because sometimes words don't work, only music does.
Thanks for reading! Have an inspiring and relaxed weekend.
