Sensibility and Spirituality

Well, in fact, at the end of the film, I thought he was a jazz singer, reflecting the brilliant life of blind singer Ray Charles, black, blind, music, inspiration, success, a few key words can connect the outline of the story.

Women and drugs are all inspirations for indulgence, and many people are not willing to give up. He has always wanted to be more innovative, write more good songs, constantly make breakthroughs in his pursuit, try various combinations of different genres, and continue to bring success to himself, and he doesn't care too much about the rest. . The shadow of childhood made him keep his mother's words firmly in his heart; disability made him independent and harder to trust others, coupled with a certain talent and fate, he created his ear-catching songs.

I have always felt that music is an expression that transcends language, and that the right person can establish a more spiritual resonance. Ray just follows his own feelings all the way, and maximizes his sensibility.
ps: The deepest impression is that when he wrote the song hit the road jack, he could write the title song even after breaking up, which reminded me of Taylorswift
