Apparently, October 6th is a day dedicated to Tom.

I wish I knew about this sooner...

Music in Nature and Nature in Music

Music can be found anywhere in nature- from the birds chirping to the frogs croaking to coyotes barking and howling in the distance. It almost creates a daily symphony for us that we may turn a dead ear to unsuspectingly. On the other hand, nature can sometimes be heard in music and it is readily available through our fingertips. Radio's consistently display music that potentially paints an interpretive image of landscapes, such as What a Wonderful World by the late Louis Armstrong, Earth Song by the late Michael Jackson and even in modern music such as Willow by Taylor Swift in which the lyrics relate human emotions to that of nature. We can even find some orchestral songs that make you feel a part of nature such as songs created by Tom Day. While his music doesn't include lyrics, it includes birds chirping or every day sounds such as people walking, the wind blowing through the trees, and so on. His instrumentals send you into this masterpiece of how I personally feel nature would 'feel' if we could turn our interpretations into music. I've attached one of his works at the bottom of this blog post which includes very faint sounds of birds chirping. This song places me, personally, as a child walking home from school on a warm sunny afternoon and I feel Tom Day is trying to create this imagery through his music. Take a listen and tell me how you feel yourself!

This music I've attached doesn't necessarily bring forth ideas and challenges towards nature interpretation, as challenged in our unit content in how music can make learning more knowledgable and interesting. Granted, I challenge this by bringing forth instrumental music that may help us focus and bring light to situations by 'reading between the lines', for lack of a better term. I also find it inspiring to make us want to go out and listen to the natural world.

Bobcaygeon by the Tragically Hip plays such an important musical role to me when it comes to interpreting nature through music. As a kid, I would go camping with my family in which we'd take 2 separate cars so as to fit more stuff (and us of course!). I'd always end up with my dad and we'd play any song we felt fit from Orinoco Flow by Enya to the Red Hot Chili Peppers (my personal favourite) to Bobcaygeon by the Tragically Hip. This song always reminds me of camping, specifically the lyrics that state

"And it was in Bobcaygeon, where we saw the constellations, reveal themselves one star at a time"

These lyrics paint the perfect picture of the stars in the sky on a cool night in the country. Living in the city, it was hard to see the stars due to light pollution whereas when we went camping in Port Elgin, stars were always something to see and take in and appreciate. Now, this song plays in my head every time I look up at the stars in my own country backyard. Do you have any music that brings you back to a natural environment?

there should be an oscar category called “movie my dad completed without falling asleep on the couch” and it’s more prestigious and contentious than best picture

I know the holidays can be stressful, so this Threshold Day try to keep in mind what really matters. It's not about the gifts or the shopping, it's about breaking the warp barrier. Threshold Day is meant to be a time of transformation (into a lizard), love (for your captain/lizard wife), and spending time with your family (of lizard babies) before you abandon them on a planet forever and never think about them again.

Happy Threshold Day everyone, and don't forget to leave milk and cookies out for Tom Paris as he travels at warp 10 and exists simultaneously at every point in the universe!
