“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture” — Elvis Costello
Writing about music and expression is a tough thing to do for anyone, but I hope the ramblings of things I think about and do, point towards the beauty of music and it’s power to transform our lives.
The name The Eye of the Hurricane comes from the calmest part of a storm. Every day that goes by, I ltry to be the calm in the storm that surrounds all of our lives, but usually end up hanging on to the trees after I’ve wandered into the chaos. Music, expression and culture help me maintain that calmness and sometimes regain sanity in world that screams for it to be complicated and chaotic.
I’m a pretty simple guy that loves to spend most of my time with my beautiful wife, Christy, and our son Luke. I also love to travel all over and listen to live music, take in the arts, and meet new people. Specifically I have a love for the local Texas/Red Dirt music scene because of the depth of expression that I believe it reaches, so I usually write about that. However, I do love all kinds of music and arts because of how they can influence the soul and how they reflect the beauty created by God.
This blog is a view into how all these things effect my life… and I hope it can encourage others to listen a bit more, think outside of the box and try something new.
Live it up,
Ryan Cole
