About this listen

 This podcast aims to do just that where I share poems and prose, music and films with you and attempt to draw parallels between them and the everyday life around us. Every now and then, I throw a parable in there to drive home a certain point, or maybe just shock value. An attempt to create a form in this void of repetitive days like clockwork. Perhaps the idyll we always aspire for is within us, in this desire to be heard and felt.Mocking Jay Music

    The first episode in hopefully many more where I share my attempt to create a form in this void of repetitive days like clockwork. Perhaps the idyll we always aspire for is within us, in this desire to be heard and felt. This podcast aims to do just that where I share poems and prose, music and films with you and attempt to draw parallels between them and the everyday life around us. Every now and then, I throw a parable in there to drive home a certain point, or maybe just shock value. All in all, a welcoming of all the worlds this world contains. I hope my listeners enjoy and more than that, I hope it has a lasting effect on all of you. Speaking of different art forms like prose, poetry music and films, the latter, films remain the most visceral medium, because essentially and inherently the visual medium is so very evocative and powerful. Prose and poetry i believe are slow burners of sorts. If prose be like the body and spirit of an art form and gives void a form, prescriptive almost like dogma, like a catechism, poetry on the other hand is esoteric in nature, a void without form. Onto music which I believe is the melting pot, a bit of a visceral medium like films minus the visuals mostly, it retains the texture of prose in saying a story at times and at the same time the mystical quality of poetry. And add to that different melodies, music for what it’s worth might just be the most transcendental art form out there. And who better to start talking about music and art than it’s mercurial proponents. Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. This is the story behind Hallelujah.
