Today, on the Rick (Ricardo) Vargas Southfield blog, I am writing about music and nature.
Nature and Music
Nature can influence the music that is made, which might be surprising to you. You may ask “how in the world can nature influence music?”. Not only can nature influence music, but so can current events in the world. I have recently written about creating good music and you may find more inspiration there too: https://rick-vargas.com/index.php/category/good-music-rick-ricardo-vargas-southfield-michigan/
I have been told by many people that when they are stuck with finding some sort of inspiration, taking a walk and taking in the beauty of nature is so inspiring. You could be sitting on a bench, watching the world go by and taking in the sounds of the birds chirping, and the leaves rustling, and suddenly, a lyric pops into your head or a melody comes to you. Perhaps it is that you have a clear mind and are completely present, or that nature has literally inspired you.
Need inspiration?
Imagine this – you are sitting next to a flowing waterfall, the sun is shining and there is a light breeze. You close your eyes for just a moment to let inspiration come over you and you are simply listening to the sounds and feeling the sunshine and breeze on your face. And just like that – inspiration comes.
It has also been told to me that current global events can inspire certain music to be made. Perhaps the music is more somber if we have been through a tragic event, or more upbeat if we have been through a congratulatory moment. Inspiration is all around us – it is important to open your eyes and open your ears to what is happening in the world, whether it be true nature or just what is going on in the world.
