I feel so "Dungeon Synth Noir"

 "The myth of Music" was one of the poems we did last week or the week before during the Harkness and to me it seemed like the most interesting one. What made it strangely interesting to me was how the speaker described her memories of her family and her father through music, referencing various instruments and genres of music such as jazz. In my interpretation of the poem, there seems to be parallels between her emotions and the music she describes. Her happy childhood memories are tied with jazz music. Once more, she describes how the memories were like songs without lyrics that can still be sung. What that meant to me was that those memories may not have had a straightforward purpose or meaning, but they were meaningful to her. Now, that previous sentence may not have made a lot of sense, but what I'm trying to transition into is a bigger meaning to this entire poem. 

    To me the entire poem is an example of how differently people view their own emotions. When people are mad some are straightforwardly tell you they are mad while others utilize sarcasm and kind of expect you to understand. Everyone shows their emotions in different ways that may not be so obvious to outsiders that don't necessarily know you as well. The poem shows an excellent example of this because we can see the Author shows her emotion through music, and associates positive music with things like jazz. The way she replays her favorite childhood memories are like songs without lyrics or rhyme. It is more so she replays the emotion than the actual memory, as emotions are meant to be felt and often times not, people cannot describe what they are feeling. I feel like this poem dives into the idea of how diverse human emotion is and how we all feel completely different things.
