My children are very musical. My daughter is a lyric driven listener and my son is a instrumental driven listener. I have surreal moments where I recognize through experience that I am close to my kids on a many levels.
The gym has brought on some of these surreal moments. Today while I was listening to this soundtrack, I thought of some of them. Bye the way, this album is soooooooo good.
I had put together a sound system for the gym. I'm not an audiophile person but just a little research helped me put together something that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, for how complete the sound envelopes you and how detailed the sound is.
Amp, cd, Bluetooth
Two of these speakers up high in the corners.
Two more speakers on the opposite side of the room but down low.
And then the sub to feel it.
My son will often hang with me in the evening, we will lay on the floor of the gym, and he will play current songs he likes through the system. He likes thefatrat. I listen with him and I like hearing the detail in the music and the production parts. I'm honored that my teenage son would ask me to hear the music he likes.
Well, a couple of nights ago he asked me to play something of mine, so I grabbed the cd loveless from my bloody valentine. My son was blown away and listened to the whole album with me. I explained that this album was highly regarded in what was called shoe-gaze. We took a trip together, with music, in the gym.
And yesterday my daughter storms into my workout while the 10000 maniacs album In my tribe was playing. She started questioning me about who it was. I opened the cd and said, read these lyrics and listen to the song (the cherry tree), you will love them. She did.
The gym has paid dividends beyond my belief, and part of that being a stereo. Whodathunk.
