Articles PremiereHere You can find interesting and useful information on most popular themes.

This may come across as a strange article contextually as I am a writer for a web hosting

company who likes for me to spread the word about how cool the Internet is, so average people,

if they ever get to read this stuff, may be inspired to partake in this new aspect of our

collective, privileged, contemporary society. I have been an avid music listener and player

for many years of my life and I want to give you the simple story of how the Internet has now

connected once again with my life’s journey. I have a deep-seated dream of one day producing

some music while I’m here in the world, but as in many cases, we humans have fears in relation

to the ideas and feelings that mean the most to us. Recently I first heard music from a guy

called Jeff Buckley.

This Jeff Buckley fellow can really play, I mean he could really play. His music spoke to me

instantly; he plays guitar and sings in a way that touches and even haunts the soul. For a

person like myself who hopes to one day become a ‘real’ musician and not just a hobbyist, this

guy is a true inspiration. Buckley died at the age of 31 years. So how did I find out about

the guy? The Internet. I even read the lyrics off a website to the song I was listening to at

that very moment. Looking at photos, reading his biography; the experience of hearing the

music at the same time as ‘seeing’ and learning about Buckley added a whole new dimension to

the experience. The Internet let me feel the music in a new way, and resulted in a moment of

epiphany-and don’t these moments mean so much to us?

So what am I alluding to? What am I getting at here? The idea I think I’m trying to articulate

is that the Internet can add dimensions to our experiences. Of course there is nothing wrong

with listening to music on its own, simplicity is one of the most beautiful ways to live life.

But for me in this particular instance, adding visuals, lyrics, and information about the

musician seemed to make the feelings I received via the music grow and swell in the moment.

The experience became multidimensional, both a reflection and a new vision simultaneously

felt.

The result for me was like a big kick in the ass. If you want to make music, stop

procrastinating. This guy Jeff Buckley gave it his best, made beautiful music and then died.

He didn’t get to hang around very long, and the same thing can happen to any of us. If I don’t

follow my dream now, in the present, I might just leave this place before I use the

opportunities that have been given to me.

All I’m trying to say here is that the Internet is becoming a tool that we can use in our

daily lives that can add richness and texture to our lives. Like all internal and external

stimulus in our world, it too just might be the medium that ignites the ‘light bulb’ idea that

changes the rest of your life.
