| Broken Music is the title to Sting's autobiography published a decade ago. I requested it at the library around the time I pre-ordered his latest album. The album, The Last Ship seems like an extension to his life-experience book. I am only forty pages into the autobiography, but he has presented the introduction of people in his circle with literary restraint allowing for much ground to be covered in a short span. I can admire that, and even aspire to it -- I know I throw too many words. I need to craft a mantra from Longfellow's advice on simplicity. Strike that -- I need to craft nothing, Longfellow's quote is already simplicity itself, stating: “In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.” Sting also intrigues me with his ability and fascination with deconstructing music from a young age. Plus, he speaks of it like an outside observer, in essence, deconstructing and describing his own actions of deconstructing. I feel like my own young life was filled with attentive moments like his. Moments that others might relate as a child bored or lonely. Of course, were they present to truly observe the fixations he or I would be engaged in as children, I think they'd glimpse the play of very active imaginations. |
