We lost that touch.

Looking back at the past 60's to the 90's where good music and legendary musicians where around made me realize how bad music has developed itself after the 90's. Many lived to see the great rise and fall , the changing of era from birth of the blues to the pinnacle of rock music in the 90's. Its sad to see that this divine gift from above is misused by people for the cause of wealth.

If u look at a bigger picture of music, it's heartbreaking to see the God-given talent of Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page , Stevie Wonder , Robert Plant and many more comparing to the likes of the young Justin Bieber of our beloved era, Lady Gaga and more.

As musicians, part of our music journey is to listen and articulate the contents of great music from the past and use them to enhance this musical journey. As a thought, what would the future generation learn? When songs of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin , B.B King are all 100 years old? Would Lady Gaga be the new Aretha Franklin? Will Simple Plan , Seconhand Serenade be the new era that replace the golden 90's?

Living in Malaysia makes it even worst. The thoughts and taste in music of teens these days are misguided by what we all proclaim 'The Mob Mentality'.
That is how the culture is divided by the different mindsets of people.
But to me, I feel music is divine and something out of this world. A simple song could change and set the mood for the whole day if enough appreciation is put into it. Music is something that speaks out to the hearts of the young. No matter what genre. Even Justin Bieber changed so many people's personality.

I guess it all comes down to how one feel about music. But then again, we lost that touch.
