#InMyEars : Eyes, @RogueWaveBand , and a Side of Nakamura
Rogue Wave’s “Eyes” will forever stir up images in my mind of Hiro Nakamura staring up into the sky in search of deeper meaning and a unique world-changing niche for his life. I’m referring to an early episode of Season 1 of Heroes, in case you’re not familiar. There’s something profoundly beautiful to me about those early episodes of Heroes, as Hiro and Peter Petrelli and others wrestle with inner yearnings and big dreams and life-altering visions of, well, flying and bending the space-time continuum. And those yearnings and dreams and visions are tightly wrapped up in their corresponding, haunting motifs and themes–soundtrack excerpts that years later still stir something in me and reactivate the screen, if you will, of my own mind.
I marvel at the power of music to create and extend and then hearken back to the dramatic content of a story, a movie, or moments from our own lives. I have largely been moved to create music for this very purpose, particularly in your lives who listen to what I craft.
Are there songs from the soundtrack of your life that have had this kind of abiding, meaningful association? I’d enjoy hearing about them.
