I’m not a musician. I cannot play an instrument. I had piano lessons as a child but I have forgotten all of it.

What I am is a lover of words, who are intimate friends with music.

Words and music attract one another, they complete one another. Words have their music if you place them in the right order.

When words are together with music they sing and become an orchestra of endless possibilities.

Listening to music is the closest we come to magic, a piece of music will put you in a good mood when you are depressed, will take you to a place or back to any time or memory you may have. In a strange incantation that connects to intimate emotions.

Eclectic listening is my journey through my hipster music tastes, each post is a story of how I’ve discovered different musicians, fallen in love, become obsessed and been touched by them.

Now, today, this moment is an exciting time to be alive. The world is so interconnected, all you need is an idea, a touch of individuality and you can share your opinions with everyone.

This is my journey through life, while randomly discovering amazing music and sharing it with you.

Eclectic Listening is my own musical desire one song at a time.
