Seems that I have not only become more sensitive to visual things lately but there is a instrumental piece that is played constantly on PBS (United States) television that I have no clue of the title. The instrumental is emotionally powerful and a big trigger for me every time I hear it. For the life of me I cannot locate the 20 second or so “instrumental break” that usually precedes the next program on PBS. Usually, they play this piece in the evening hours after each program. Saturday evenings is where I hear it the most and I make sure I tune in just to get my fix and try and figure out why is affects me sooooo!!!!
The above picture is the logo that is shown while playing. If anyone knows the title of this instrumental piece, please let me know. Unfortunately, the title is not "Explore Your Possibilities," that would be too easy. I have been searching for over a year for this song to no avail. Even on the PBS’ website, Youtube, Google I cannot find it. To this day, I cannot put my finger on why this ‘one particular’ piece has such an affect on me. It has been irking me all this time, that I finally I broke down tonight and emailed PBS to let me know the title of this instrumental. Will be curious to see if they respond.
The response in me is so overwhelming when I see the visual of the silhouettes of the bass player and a flamingo along with the music that I am set back 40 years.
I hope PBS emails you back sweetie.
ReplyDeleteNope. Sorry can't help you in your search. Intersting that it's such a trigger for you.
ReplyDeleteI certainly know what it's like to be triggered by music... DOn't know the piece you are speaking of, but when you find it, post a link. It would be interesting to me to hear it.
ReplyDeletehope you feel better. I know what you are going through.
Peace and love
I don't "do" radio or TV, so cannot help you. Please post, if you receive an answer from PBS...and I'll make it a point to watch and listen some night.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to being affected by music. Even when I am completely closed off to everything else, something about music speaks to me more than anything else ever could.
ReplyDeleteI hope PBS responds. Isn't it amazing the way music can touch something deep within us?

I can be catapulted to another time and place by just a small piece of music or a beautiful picture or scene of nature.....it is like my DNA gets stirred up.
ReplyDeleteI have written poems that try to grasp this kind of experience.
Love you and good luck on your search. I'll put a little prayer out that your hunt will be successful.

simple triggers for switching moods are so cool, but we do like to have some control. Once you're able to bring it on demand tho, it will lose it's allure, at least a bit. Good luck~rick
ReplyDeleteooooh, can't help you... i live across the ocean... no pbs.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever do find out at least the title, let alone the actual music, will let you all know! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great idea to email PBS, hopefully they'll get back to you with the name of the instrumental. There is certain music that brings out a strong response in me as well so I can understand what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I really would like to help you, but i'm "on the other side". But I know how you feel. I've looked for "The wind beneath my wings" for years, because I heard it once in a film presentation. I still don't know the name of the film, and I would love to find out.
ReplyDeleteMusic always touches my soul.....especially if my inner being is out of sorts.
ReplyDeleteHope you find out what the name of the song is.
I've seen that logo before but cannot remember where and what. Nice blog.
