“I gained your love
then lost my mind.
what a bargain.
I love you impossibly
loving you,
my heart is holding more than it can
loving you,
is making me more than I am
your beauty is more than what my soul can bear
When I am dying of thirst
you are water
When I am drowning to death
you are breath
I love you impossibly
I love you impossibly
I'd trade my limbs to hold you
I'd trade my eyes to see you”
Amir Sulaiman

To me, the most important tool is not a physical or a technical one. It's more of a cerebral one. It's your brain. It's about having an interest in experimenting musically, perhaps touching on several different genres of music. No doubt, the most important tool is the mind. It's the willingness to experiment freely.
