Why "Absorb" Music?

I have felt so vastly disconnected recently. Even from people I genuinely care about. Well, everyone but my kids. But, music seems to be putting it all to rights. Musicians have a better talent than creating sounds that please the ear. They can connect with anyone anywhere. They can speak your thoughts and be your lover and support your wildest causes. In my case, that includes dancing. People get injured when I dance, I swear. I just stop caring where my body's going and stumble into everything around. But, tonight, I danced in the mild and damp night air. I just let my body flow through the music. I absorbed the music. I don't know if I've ever felt for any man the sort of raw, pulsing, juicy emotions I feel for music. I don't think I ever will. I wonder if its what other people feel when they're in love or maybe what I feel when music is playing is better than romantic love. I wish I could feel this way at every moment of my life. No task would seem too difficult, as long as I never had to break from this painfully blissful explosion in my heart. If I had to choose between sustenance and music, I fear I would have to choose music. But, with the right music, I would only gently lapse into dreamlike death.

  1. Music is huge like that in my life too. I'd much rather have music than TV, but my love, loves the TV. What to do...

    I especially seem to like music that tells a story. Not so much like country does, but more like Pink Floyd that paints landscapes in the mind and allows you to find and discover new aspects of the same music, no matter how often you listen to it.

    Some things are here today, gone tomorrow. Goes unsaid that the good music sticks.

    Nice blog! Cheers!
