The little things..

The little things... those things that people over look. The little sounds that they hear all the time in life but don't pay attention to and when they do hear it, it bugs them. Like a clock. If you have one in your room, house, or somewhere you go it is usually just drowned out. But when you do hear it you can't stop thinking about it and it starts to bug you. Kind of like when you think about swallowing or blinking. You can't remember if you swallowed. Or when to blink. And when you forget about it again you don't have to control it. It's weird..
Well when you sit and think about it there are so many little noises that you hear all the time but don't realize it. For me, when I think about them, I start tapping my foot to them and add other noises in my head. And if the noise has a steady tempo going then I can play music in my head to that tempo. Like something I've been practicing.. or randomly made up.
The other day I was humming the same "pitch" the water was making when it's running. It sure made cleaning dishes go faster!
Sometimes if you listen to the little noises you don't even have to make up a song. They magically flow together. Like rain. It's not really something normal people would consider a song but it can be. And when you hear the thunder and the dripping of the rain it sounds.. amazing. At least that's what I think..
The little things.. the little sounds that people neglect are really something incredible. You just have to pay attention and stop and listen for awhile. And if you don't believe me.. well. I guess I'm just insane. :)
