Epic
Journey
Hot
These words come to mind when the opening chords of Kashmir are struck. I'm transported away from where I am to somewhere else; somewhere desolate, barren, no roads in sight.
Music and books have the ability to do that to me. Yes, sometimes it is great to have a movie do that for me; take me away, stop my thinking and let someone else tell the story. I've always been a voracious reader, and recognized that magic early on, especially when I got into The Lord Of The Rings. Kashmir, from the first time I heard it, had the ability to pull me away from wherever I was at and bring me around the world in an instant. I am sure that what I imagine in my head is a far cry from what it is actually like in Kashmir, but who cares. The music is magic.
