FOR MUSIC LOVERS ONLY

MELODY HAS DIED.....It took its last choking breath over a decade ago. This world killed it. It put up a valiant fight in its last days, but money, greed and fame squashed the life out of it, only to replace it with a caricature of something that once resembled music. Now a human doesn't have to be born with the creative gift to make beautiful melodies and change lives by it. A record producer now manufactures the creative process without the help of any gifted musicians.....almost. A female's only qualification is to be able to writhe, scantily clad on the floor, while an evil robotic machine called "auto-tune" sings for her. No worries about singing on pitch. A male only needs charisma and looks to excite pre-teen girls. There is no need for musical instruments. No need for talented breathing human musicians who genuinely play the piano, bass, guitar, trumpet, flute, violin, cello or percussion. That's been taken care of digitally also.....But it was the beat that delivered the final blow. It clubbed the melody to death with a dominant punch......just a rap here and a rap there and melody sung it's last cry before expiring. After the beating, there was nothing left of the musical corpse.....Nothing left except the beat and the contrived instruments. Gone was that sweet melody that was able to expose your heart's longing.....gone was the meoldy that incited to action......and gone was the melody which produced such yearning and desire, that after centuries, its tunes are still embedded in hearts and minds.....The stories and emotion behind real music, by real people, is lost forever and this world grieves.
