Eight past eight

08:08

They were back with their drill and the corresponding sound produced by that tool eight minutes after the clock marked eight. Enhanced with another harsh noise, something like throwing unidentified metal objects on the terrace. Who would know what they are still doing in the first neighbour's place? I am wondering do everyone hear all that noise that loud as we...? For us, no morning nap, nor siestas are possible. Anyway, at that time I was awake already for more than an hour, the usual time to get up on workdays was announced by my alarm clock. Nothing less noisy than the drill from the other side of the wall.

That would not be a problem, one can be used to being awakened early. Unless that one never goes to sleep at some acceptable time. The morning can be even more challenging if the night before that person had a nice amount of not so interesting work to do, with Mr Deadline sitting on the shoulder while receiving an interesting artwork to be listened to. Accompanied by some cool visuals, so not just listening is what I wanted to do then. Immediately. The wires in the mind made a short circuit, but the black in front of the eyes still had not arrived for some hours.

Consequences? Burning eyes with no possibility to close them until the next evening when the situation can be similar to the previous evening. The morning continues with going to Valencia, to pick up a friend from the airport. It means almost 2 hours in the car - one way. Then back the same amount of time. Later, work until the evening. And some additional, unexpected stressful situations. Yeah, when you have a teenager...

At least, we had good weather and enjoyed the trip instead of listening to the background work noise. I already mentioned it, you remember this post with Olafur Arnalds and his living room songs. Later, the topic came once again here, and also it was the inspiration for creating this music and madness. Now, the real madness came to me! I needed something loud to listen to this early morning to unwind my mind. My first and only thought was Wagner! Not just anything from Wagner, but one piece, Ride of the Valkyries.

EDIT: The video was not available for everyone so here comes another one too, in case you can not listen to the first one. {sorry everyone for the second mention} 😇

My thoughts were going crazy like the strings section in the orchestra while playing fast scales. The wind instruments tried to bring some more stable and optimistic and heroic thoughts, but without a lot of success. The violins (my thoughts) were still bringing the drama! Maybe it was not the best music selection to help me out, but the opposite. However, Vangelis was not suitable for me this morning, although @tdctunes confessed - it took him to another place on a busy day. As I promised you in my comment, here comes the music I needed this morning! A bit harder sound than the time from Missing by Vangelis.

I am a lot better now, eleven in the evening. The frustration calmed down when I decided to listen again to the art of Albert van Abbe. An artist from The Netherlands, introduced to me yesterday through a Spread The Vibes post by Edje. Well, this post seems to be also an upside-down post, as instead of finishing it with my music share, I am back to the album Nondual!

I will have again almost the same amount of work to start to do now, late in the evening... but these abstract sounds and ghost piano parts that are crawling into my ears and mind through the headphones will remind me how much happiness is bringing this challenge not challenge. To me, at least. And if anyone perceives the same, why not join the fun? The invitation to follow up is directed to everyone on hive. In case @beesparkle doesn't see this, well I will mention and invite her. Classical music or electronic music, would you like to pick up something? @littlebee4, how are the works in your neighbour's place? Would you like to spread some music vibes while you are listening to the same sound as I? @edje, I suppose road constructions are still on in front of your building...and what shall we do...? Ditching the counters?
