26 Letters, 12 Notes.

The name of the new Dave Mason record. I was driving with my mom and they played a song off that record and mentioned the name. I don't listen to Dave Mason, but regardless, that's probably the most epic name for an album/band/song/book/anything I've ever heard, and in general, it's a mind blowing concept.

All articles, novels, stories, poems, speeches and lyrics are based off a mere 26 letter alphabet. with the same 26 letters you can portray anything you want. with the same 26 letters you can express extreme happiness, sadness, love, or fear. with the same 26 letters you can become insanely successful or be bound for failure.

The 12 notes concept is a little different to me. I just think it's crazy that every single song ever written, no matter the genre, when it was written, or who wrote it is based off the concept of notes. it's truely what brings all forms of music together.

These two things together are truely something powerful. 38 things that can change the world. how you choose to handle this power, however, is completely up to you. so go write a song. write a book. express your freedom. alter the way people think. change the world. all it takes is 26 letters, 12 notes.
