My children's heartfelt laughter Rain on a tin roof (or anything for that matter...posted this earlier...sorry) A strong wind through the trees A jet flying overhead Soft pitter-patter of footsteps in the house, because I know it is likely my children sneaking around My truck starting on a cold winter morning A harp Rushing water. Any body of water (creek, brook, ocean, river, bathrub, sprinkler, faucet) Fireworks on the 4th of July My chainsaw or weedeater firing-up on the third pull Cheers from a fan-based crowd when their team has scored A crackling fire My lover whispering to me, anything at anytime - doesn't matter what she is saying A really creaky, wooden door that clearly needs to be oiled and my favorite of all: The sound of complete silence (according to Simon & Garfunkle) WOW....What a GREAT list... |

Good song Breathless.
Hello darkness, my old friend, Ive come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of A neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one deared Disturb the sound of silence. Fools said i,you do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you. But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon God they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the signs said, the words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls. And whisperd in the sounds of silence |

I love the sound of my Fatcat purring. This sound has a very calmimg affect on me. I also like rain, frogs singing, my aquarium filters bubbleing & splashing, the wind blowing through tree tops,the ocean,& though I can barely remember this... the breathing of a lover sleeping peacefully next to me. What are your favorite sounds? |

Thanks, Puffins...
Guess you could say I'm one of those who actually "listens" around this joint. Here's a few more of my favorite sounds: My computer when it shouts "YOU HAVE MAIL" and it's actually from someone I WANT to hear from. Clapping from a pleased and entertained audience. An old clock ticking in the background. My loose change hitting the "change bucket" in my bedroom. Windchimes. Metal being crushed or glass being broken. My dishwasher running. A high school band playing their hearts out, hopefully in unison and in tune, but if not - WHO CARES? My paper shredder - shredding the crap outta my spam snail mail. The infamous "DING" when the elevator I've been waiting on finally arrives. A really good FART - talk about comforting for BOTH parties involved. |
