“I Dream of a Time, I Dream of a Place:” Music as the Great Relocator

BY OLIVER KOGOD//

The possibilities of music are powerful and infinite.  

One possibility that resonates with me is how listening to music can relocate one’s self.  

The lyrics “I dream of a time, I dream of a place” in the song “Outer Space” by the 3Ds speaks to  this.  

Music can move people physically.  

But it can also move us inwardly.  

It can relocate ourselves, bring us far away from where our bodies stand.  

It’s pretty cool.  

“I tear it down once, I tear it down  

I tear it down twice, I tear it down  

I tear it down twice and out it back up thrice  

I dream of a time, I dream of a place  

I dream of a time and place in outer space”  

-“Outer Space,” the 3Ds
