If your heartbeat were music tuned to the pitch of your individual personality, what genre would it be, how long would it be, what instruments would play it, and how high would it get in the charts. Mine would be a much loved one hit wonder that, in the country of Chad, would make number one for a solid day and a half and then disappear into whatever crack mombo number five fell into after its success. It would be played on an orchestra of kazoos and have a bpm matching drumb and bass with intermittent psytrance bass wobble. And finally; id say it was up beat in most parts with heavy bass.

Syncopated Solo

I wish my heart would sound like the chorus of the Human Voice — echoes of all of us rolled into one sonorous cheering crescendo exhaled in a melodious whisper. It is more likely though that my heart beat is echoing just the vibrations of one single instrument... the one that makes me catch my breath whenever I hear it... giving me the illusion that it is not my ears that feel it. My heartbeat won't be topping any charts, it won't even be much of a tune; it's an accompaniment.

Nothing matches the pluck on my soul like the sound of the string bass....

It sounds something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyUZh_Cbw6Q

And inspires a poem like this, about being alive:

"Double Bass Solo"

My player plays me good

He plays me like he should

He plays me on and on

He plays me all night long

And when we're gone—

the air carries out this song
