Brave New Voices 2010 - "Cassette"

[BitesRawr]

I just really dislike group productions, makes it really hard to catch every highlight.

But It's defnitely clear that the poem compares music to life. Our life is ever changing like the beat of a song. It's full of rhythms, bass, and hooks at random tones and pitches, because everyone has their own lyrics to sing, not one of us hit's the same note as another. Each piece is different, because each person is different. We all listen to music though.

Music is Magic and Magic is Music.

OMG, I need to memorize this.

[libbyolgahoward]

hahahahaha. the line is music is magic fool. you etching the wrong words into your mind forever. also, to the person who didn't understand what the poem was about- no judgement. basically the poem is composed of vignettes about people who experience music through their everyday lives, without a beat, machine, or hook. but instead, music exists all around us. in words, actions, footsteps, everything. it is a really abstract poem but the sound and flow bring that together in the end.

[PoetriBabii]

music is power and power is music ! that line forever etched in my mind .

[OctaneTwist]

Death? Where do you get that? Its about the power of music. How it can get you through things.
