Traveling

November 6th, 2009 by Jim Chappell | 3 Comments | Filed in Inspiration

For me music is a direct doorway into a different reality.  When I love a song if I shut my eyes and truly listen I definitely go somewhere, usually to a place I love hanging out in:)

That’s mostly what it’s all about re me and music I suppose..the way it affords me the ability to travel with it.

So there you have it: “Music is Transporting” in my humble opinion. Where will I go next?

It’s Always Sunny Somewhere

The first time I ever flew in an airplane it was a stormy, gloomy day. As the plane climbed up into the gray I was full of wonder and anticipation as to what would happen.. I was pleasantly surprised and excited when I burst through into the radiant sunlight and clear blue expanse.

That was the magical day I learned no matter what’s going on “down there” in my daily life, the sun is always shining somewhere. That made me really happy for some deeper reason.

I often spent countless hours around lakes, streams, and the ocean as a kid; can definitely hear how it’s influenced my recordings..

Reshaped ocean keysWhat is it about the water that’s attracts us anyway?? I couldn’t think of anywhere I’d rather be growing up..

Closing Eyes

Closing my eyes and getting swept away while listening to some favorite music; always able to go deeper that way..

I have always loved entering into my own inner world(s) like this..There’s something great about just tuning into the sound for me- I travel with it I guess you could say:)
