Carry You
A few moments while I wait out for the Youtube release of Novo Amor’s newest single, Opaline, I turned to listen to Novo songs I first liked, and one of them was Carry You.
It is only that moment that I noticed one of the top comments, which I didn’t pay much attention before despite having the music video being repeated over and over in my Youtube playlist. ‘Cause why, Novo Amor music!
I was so moved I felt compelled to actually write a short post about it, which is exactly what I am doing right now.
gracefull mess (from 3 years ago): “Only gonna marry someone I can listen to Novo Amor with”
...
I am usually a fan of artists who has this distinct, varying voice ranges and pro skilled with musical instruments. Quite picky, but I am one of those who also appreciate the mainstream, the pop, the upbeat, the music that probably a lot of people like, or at the very least, familiar.
Not with Novo Amor.
I was then trying to recover from a break-up. It is when I let my Youtube autoplay that I discovered his music. I just let the song play, Carry You, my first favorite, and I just remember being very into it and finding myself reading a blog post about the song and its lyrics.
...
Since then, Novo Amor’s music give me a soothing experience into my core. His detailed guitar/ piano intros coupled with fluid violin seem to gently invite me into his song. In the middle of his music travels me through different depths of my feelings, making me unsure if it’s sadness or peace or deep joy. Then there’s the climax, enjoining all the instruments which drives me in highs. Followed by the element of dim, and soft build up of intruments that puts my soul gently back into the ground; ending with a complete halt. An experience quite synonymous to waking up not too early, not too late, after a good dream, from a good night rest.
In all his songs were poetry; with lovely and intense thoughts that leaves an etch in one’s heart. Listening to the song, this time knowing the song’s message/ concept, and my listening experience is elevated.
Novo Amor’s music has pierced me deep into my heart, into my soul.
...
And I think, for me to share Novo Amor to another being, feels like I’m stripping myself of all the earthly defenses I’ve built; barenaked. I’m sharing my soul. In all my bold highs, pinks and violets, and also in my pitch black and steep lows.
Which is why I feel with the comment.
Sharing something you feel so deeply and intricately to another human being, can be threatening. Can be hurtful. Can be soul-breaking.
And on the other hand can be extremely wonderful: being appreciated, understood, and met eye to eye. A pure union between souls.
So yes.
I look for, aspire, hope, and pray for that deep connection.
And soon, all the moons, stars, colours and galaxies that form in my soul whenever I listen to the guitar plucks, violin, and falsetto voice of Novo Amor will be freely revealed to someone.
Someone who can bear it. Who can appreciate. Understand. Take care of.
And who will gladly share theirs as well.
...
Resonate with me? How about you? Which artist or song carries your soul? :)
