The Inspirational Thomas Decolita & More

I am unsure of how I am to describe this, but I will just write and see if I can even begin to explain…

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they take part in something magical, a moment of pure beauty, brilliance and captivating bliss. I can’t even begin to describe and yet my heart tells me I should go on, writing, talking, speaking of what I have just witnessed; the music that has just been presented to me with such power. I am here writing mere words, trying to find a way to explain, yet I struggle to convey, to explain, to justify this man named Thomas Decolita.

Through the years of my childhood, when my imagination was at it’s best, I listened to the same track over and over in my mind, the story in which I built along the way. This creation, this small place which I felt safe in my life, I would reflect back to very often. The walls of life would surround me, but this one track would hold the light before my eyes and show me that there was a light at the end, a glimmer of hope; an end to the suffering that this one tiny body struggled to contain.

Thomas DeColita - Things Falls Apart

For years I have been drawn back to this same place, over and over, but tonight something changed; four hours I was locked in a journey which I could never have thought up. A journey that would take me to a place I had never seen, a new beginning; through the journey I felt the most painful feelings, I would deny and yet they would overwhelm me, crush my chest inside out. I couldn’t breath. Like a ball of extreme light inside me that I could feel rise and fall, rise and fall, connecting with my heartbeat in the distance. Trying to contain this ball in one small weak space, would make me shiver, even crumble at times and my face would water like never before. I was travelling through years of sadness, I found myself in a very small space, a very dark place, but I wasn’t alone, there was someone with me; a faceless person shifting from side to side, then vanish, who was this person hiding from me? why did they suddenly vanish when I came so close.

I called out but they couldn’t hear me, yet I could feel them. I began to question who this was, this person needed help, I could feel the pain, they were so lost, so bound to this dark and lonely place. Captive and locked away within a memory. I sat and I listened to seek but with no prevail.

Then this strange place began to change all around me, coloured scenary began to wash over the smoked grey walls, the darkness began to lift as though the suns rays had peeked through the cracks in the walls. Colours, many colours, different spectrum’s of colours and warming glows rose and fell around the stone floor, and then I could see the beauty that lay outside of this dark place. I could feel warmth again, the breeze on my cheeks, I began to shiver and with each breath came water, oceans and oceans of water falling from my motionless face.

I sat and I watched as the storm rode in, the flashing bolts of light catapulting the clouds and breaking down on earth with tremendous power, creating sparkles of images, reflections of myself within raindrops that cast themselves downwards, the tripled blues within the nights skies. With each flash came a captive memory, but before I could make any sense it would vanish as though snapping photographs in high speed one after another after another. With each capture came a tear, and with each tear a frozen memory would fall and shatter on the ground.

With each bolt of lightening I could feel the veins pulsate throughout my body. The healing powers of Thomas Decolita’s music has begun.

The symphony’s came like dreams carried by the tide, each swallowing emotions away, enveloping the pain in to the deep wide ocean for it to vanish and be felt no more. AND THEN THE SILENCE, ‘It’s hard to see who you really are when you’re stood in-front of yourself’.

The person hiding wasn’t a stranger, it was me hiding from myself, from my memories, I saw myself and all that I was right before my eyes, all of these years I have been the one who has stopped myself progress in my life, I have been the one standing within my own shadows, I have been the one blocking the entrance, and all of this in which I have spent 22 years hiding away from within myself has faced me today, and now I am free.

I am not going in to detail about my past times of course not it would be silly of me, but as with everyone else I have been through tough times too. Through the years I’ve turned to the music to ease my pain, drowned my thoughts through melody, but tonight I let it go for the very first time. I allowed myself to really listen, I blocked out the distractions, and began to feel every sombre chord, every single breath, every uplifting moment whilst being carried through every single beat. For this, for listening, for opening up to the music in which this man so easily gives us all as a gift, he has healed me from within.

Thomas DeColita – Find Your Dharma (Original Piano)

These are the only words I can put together to express my true and honest belief that Thomas Decolita is the most talented producer I have ever come across in all of my life. I have shared with you my personal troubles because this is the only way I know how to describe his talent, this raw emotion he so easily taps in to with his sounds.

I was born in to the music, it has motivated and captivated me for many years, my father was a very talented artist also, he played out his life within every riff on his guitar, he sang the words of a wise man and yet he lived on his own. Inside, his music trapped him, and yet to others he was seen as motivational and inspirational. My father was a genius, but he never believed in himself enough to progress in his lifetime. For that I am saddened that millions of people never had the chance to hear the words and stories within melodies which I would hear within his music, no one would ever be able to experience the emotion filled memories that would stream from my fathers heart. I have always been sorry for that.

Tonight I saw this spark of energy again, the same passion and inspiration in someone else, and I will not lye quiet this time. I will shout from every mountain until the right mountain reflects my echo. For Thomas Decolita is exactly, if not more, than this music industry needs. His passion, his dedication, his direction and his talents go beyond anything anyone could ever imagine. He can captivate, he can inspire, he can pull every emotion that exists within a human and shape it in to one of the most amazing and entertaining musical journeys you will ever experience in your life. He can reflect the heart and soul, through all of us in ways unimaginable. Thomas Decolita needs to be heard, and heard by the right person because there is NOTHING out there at the moment that can even sound like, let alone be, Thomas Decolita’s music.

Tonight, four hours of Thomas’s time has healed me for a lifetime, for this I thank you Thomas, and in return I shall not go quiet, I will expose this raw talent you have and shout from every corner, until someone listens and realises how amazing you are. Your music is unjustifiable, it has left my whole body in total AWE. For that I Thank You!
