The wonderful record Rich Hinman vs. Adam Levy arrived this afternoon.
As I assumed : on the backside of the artwork, besides all the usual info, you find Joe Henry's praise for this album. It is entitled 'Rookie of the Year', just like the song on the B-Side written by Rich Hinman & Chris Morrissey.
Once I start listening to the record, I get reminded again that there is another lifeform, besides a biological one, out there. It is entitled music.
How else can you explain that you are witnessing feelings from sadness up to joy while all that there is, are the soundwaves floating in the room.
It's a lifeform that is created, but who is the creator of this one ?
It are musicans Rich Hinman, Adam Levy, Jennifer Condos and Jay Bellerose who perform these songs. These are four musicians who already are high up there in 'tower of songs', and with this record they remind us all why they are in that place.
But are they the creator of these songs, or did the songs choose them to find their way out ?
When is a song born ? When it is played, or when it started brewing in the minds of Musicians ?
I am a total amateur musician, but I know, sometimes when you play music,... your mind seems not to be the one to move your body, but it is the music inside yourself that takes over.
This record feels like it always has existed, but it only needed to be played, and only Rich, Adam, Jennifer and Jay could have done it, there was no other way.
I thank all of them.
Greeting,
Stefan.
