Chick Corea
To restate the Obvious
Can you hear it ?
If you can, it’s yours
Do you like it ?
If you do, it’s your pleasure
Does it make you happy ?
If it does, it’s your happiness that you made
Can you conceive it ?
If so, then you can create it
Is it beautiful ?
If it is, then it’s your beauty you see
Who’s the final authority of music ?
Who can say it’s great ?
Who can say it’s beautiful ?
Who can give music its validity ?
It’s so simple, it’s so obvious,
It gets hidden:
It’s you for you
It’s me for me
And it’s them for them
So here’s to a revitalisation
In the freedom of choice
In music
