Music: The great communicator
"There are barn doors and there are revolving doors doors in the rudders of big ships and there are revolving doors there are doors that open by themselves there are sliding doors and there are secret doors there are doors that lock and doors that don't there are doors that let you in and out but never open and there are trap doors that you can't come back from."
--Radiohead
Music will probably remain my favorite when it comes to literacy. You can say so much through it, and allows for mystery; can be abstract. It has contributing factors like lyrics and voice. Music is poetry.
Radiohead, in my humble opinion, is one of the best bands of our generation. They have never sold out and to this day, remain true to themselves, playing and writing what they feel is important. I relate to them because as a poet it is important to me that I write what I know and am not influenced by others in a way that would alter what I enjoy doing. When I write, I value others' thoughts and suggestions, but still write from the soul.
