I love the sound of…
I was just thinking the other day how much I love sounds! I was in the coffee shop in my town when there were all kinds of latte/coffee making sounds. I love the sound of an espresso machine. I know some people could find it loud and offensive, but there’s something so comforting about it for me. I also love the sound of a large flag flapping in the wind, and the line hitting the pole. Other sounds I love:
The sound of an old BMW motorcycle switching gears
The sound the key to my office makes when it goes into and out of the lock
The sound of tires on a stone driveway
Laughter of any sort
Slide guitar
Old, loud light switches
I know there are more, but I can’t think of anymore right now. I am listening to the new Dar Williams, which turns into The Decemberists Crane Wife when it’s through, so that’s all I can think about right now. But sounds are amazing little pieces of memories and loveliness. Almost as good as scents that take you back to another moment in time.
