L.A. Pontes
Very often music is the inspiration; a song that I really like, usually an old song, but sometimes a new one to me, if it’s really good, or different, exotic in some way. Like Yeasayer ‘2080’, which really made me trip, thinking about a wonderful journey of some kind.
Most times it has little to do with the lyrics or at least the whole lyric. It’s much more the melody and the instruments and a line or two that stands out for some reason and reaches me. Music is instant inspiration and I don’t know what I would do without it. There are other sources, but music is the greatest, no doubt. It evokes memories and feelings – and thoughts – in a way nothing else can.
