It comes to me, so silent in the night.
The above words paraphrase one of the Rolling Stones’ most genius songs, “Emotional Rescue.” What comes to me, so silent in the night? Ghosts? Of course, no. Inspiration comes to me, so silent in the night. I have written many times here on the www.adammazek.com website that I receive many inspiration and ideas for texts while walking.
Nevertheless, I welcome new ideas before sleeping, lying in bed, and listening to music while having my eyes closed.
I often switch off my mind and relax, and suddenly, entirely unexpected thoughts and insights, like shooting stars in the night sky, appear in my mind. The idea to write the current text, of course, came to my mind while lying and listening to the “Emotional Rescue” song. I love the Rolling Stones. I have preferred their music over the Beatles’ songs for many years. Today (I wrote this text on the 10th of August, 2023), I cannot state which band I prefer most. I love their tunes on the same level, I suppose.
The truth is their musical legacy inspires me. When I hear their music, I feel a deep desire to participate in the eternal dialogue of creative people who devoted their time, powers, and energy to create something out of nothing.
By doing street photography and writing each text, I am not just expressing myself, but also adding to this legacy.
Even if sometimes single texts do not possess particular and groundbreaking content, I believe the whole of my artistic legacy, after decades, will become a meaningful voice in the dialogue between generations about humanity. That’s why I create. That’s why I desire to share my visions with others. Those visions, ideas, and insights sometimes appear at night when I lie with my eyes closed, listening to music. At the same time, the Beatles’ guitars gently weep, and the inspiration comes to me silently. I will finish this writing. I must go to sleep.
