This is so beautiful. I'm so glad you wrote it. My wish is that more of us who love music would write about music like this -- because ultimately I think it's the emotional and spiritual connection to music that makes all the rest of it matter. And I think it's too easy to lose touch with that, amid all the tech.
PS I wish I knew more about the context of the photos, what it is I'm seeing and why you chose those photos? hint hint... ;-)
Thanks for this lovely piece Andres, it touched me deeply. Echoing Faith’s point, I love reading about those emotional and spiritual connections that drive people’s passion for the music they love. It never ceases to amaze me, the power of music to reach deep inside and shake us up emotionally, almost a visceral response at times, and with a ferocity that can overwhelm with its intensity
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story, Andrés! You brought tears to my eyes.
It’s funny, perhaps - for me as the husband of an Argentinian - that I find Buenos Aires as a city fueled by nostalgia. I think I’ve mentioned this before but I feel like it’s something inherent in the culture. I hear certain tangos or Argentinian songs (like Yupanqui) and I feel as if it’s something from my own past, although I’ve only borrowed it. Weird.
In any case, thank you so much for this piece; it’s really something special. Also, your baby pictures are adorable.
The collective unconscious is a concept examined by Theillard De Chardin in "The Phenomenon of Man" published in 1955. He proposes it is part of a greater evolution of mankind's psychic element that must have been present in elemental form from the time when complex compounds found themselves becoming living entities. The concept offers a spectrum of possibilities.
