About
Hello,
Welcome to my website.
I am Samuel Shook–a composer and songwriter. I experiment with ways to express ideas, existence, emotion, and identity. This place will be a catalogue of my work. I hope you find some meaning and enjoy.
I was asked “In what way do you listen to music?” To answer that I wrote this poem…
Music is a Way
a way of expression
a way of living
a way of fun
a way of liberation
from the soul
for the soul
from grief
from anxiety
from stress
Music is
a way of speaking to that which cannot be put into words
a way of celebration
a way of being situated in solidarity within this existence
a way of amplification
a way of listening
a way of ascension
a way of understanding
a way of telling a story
a way of ecology
a way of peace
a way of life
Postlude
Once one begins to hear music one begins to listen.
