Sound is Art

This sound made me feel happy. It made me feel young. It created an image in my mind, almost like a memory, even though the memory I was recalling never actually happened. I could picture being taken back to a time when I was a child having one of my first birthdays. Experiencing all the joy that comes with birthdays when you are still naive. When a year still feels like forever to wait until the next time this special moment occurs. The familiar joyful tune combined with the music-box like quality of the sound took control of my mind completely. It was heaven how the way that the song had little imperfections dispersed through it made it that much more accurate in giving it the feel of a distant memory. The way the quality of the sound is aged, and slightly dull makes you fell like you are actually there in the moment. Close your eyes and let the short sweet noise make an impact on you. Birthdays lately don't mean as much as they used to. It feels like I am losing my innocence. Like I'll never be able to recapture the emotions that used to be brought on so easily by something that now seems so insignificant like hearing happy birthday sung to me. This sound made me smile, the various high pitched notes that sound resemblent to tings played one after another in such a specific order. But the way that this sound made me feel and the thoughts it brought up were bittersweet.
