Sounds like music is both the metronome of our day and the quiet hiss of a secret rebellion, doesn’t it? A chord progression can feel like a liturgy that steadies us, while a sudden solo or an off‑beat can pry us out of routine, a gentle reminder that there’s more than the clock to hear. It’s like a tiny ceremony that invites us to listen for the cracks in the ordinary and fill them with a little improvisation. Keep mixing the two—you’ll find a sweet spot between the sacred and the rebellious.
