restless

It is nearly one-thirty in the morning, every one's asleep. The only sounds in my room are those of the air conditioner, my fingers that type this haphazard script, and my favorite acoustic melody coming from the Youtube tab in my browser. (If you follow that link, promise me you'll watch John Butler's performance all the way through at least once. Please.)


(I am still feeling the caffeinated effects of the migraine pain reliever that my mother warned me about. But I don't have to work until noon tomorrow, so it's okay i guess. As long as the migraine is gone.)

Anyway. I've come to find that, sometimes, listening to instrumental // classical music is truly good for the soul. To be honest, I know next to nothing about the genre, but sometimes I find myself turning to the classical music station on my way to school, or popping my only Mozart record onto the turntable. 





It clears my mind, similar to the way writing late at night does, yet it's completely the opposite. I'm taking in pure music, without the words, hidden meanings and memories that are carried by lyrics. It helps cease the tide restlessness that I often feel consumed by.

  1. I feel ya. I love classical music. It sounds even better late at night on an old scratchy vinyl with a candle flickering in the corner. I wish I had a Mozart record! I have some piano pieces, and those are nice. But Mozart would be rad.

  2. Ah classical music is always a good idea. My dad's a big fan of Mozart, Beethoven and Vivaldi, so I kind of grew up listening to them, haha. Also, you have a lovely blog! x

  3. Yes just yes. This.
    Also, the thing about wordless music, classical or otherwise, is well, there aren't any words. They don't distract your mind, setting the mood or directing thoughts, it's just music and your thoughts and that's so calming for some reason.
