Today, on the Ricardo Vargas Southfield blog, I write about music and its effect on life.
I consider the music I write to be a soundtrack to my life. We all have ups and downs. We all have good days and bad days. We all have moments we want to remember. There are so many memories I have where there is music attached. I hear a song, and instantly, a memory pops into my head. Music has that power.
The music I write can be happy, energetic, melancholy, and reflective. All of those descriptions can be in one song, or in many songs. Just depends on the moment I am in, the day I am having, and where I am in life. My music can be chaotic. My music can be relaxed. It can be super upbeat, or have a major tempo change right in the middle of the song.
My life dictates the music I write. Just as a song on the radio can jog a memory while driving, my music writes the story of my life. Music notes are the letters I use to write. The melody and tempo I choose are intentional though I may not realize it until after I have composed the song.
If I am writing a song for a client, it is so important for me to understand the meaning behind what the message is that they want to convey. Without this, there will be no story.

If you listen to my music, you learn about who I am, where I have come from, and what my story is. You may only learn about me on that one day, but all together, my music is the story of my life.
