can't quit looking over my shoulder...

I've never seen the movie "The Fountain", and only vaguely know what it's about.

I've been listening to its soundtrack alone, in the dark, during a thunderstorm.... This is without a doubt the most intense sound I've ever heard in my life. Intense doesn't even begin to describe it. Evanescence, dragon force, rachmaninov, AC DC... I could describe any one of those as 'Intense'.  This is something different... There were a few times where I had to take the headphones off because it was too much; that doesn't ever happen to me. Not listening to music. Nothing is too much for me. I can't remember ever actually feeling scared for my life just listening to music!

Music is a drug to me, it reaches straight into my soul and writes my emotions, governs my thoughts. Something about sound... any one note by itself is just a note. It carries no feeling, no emotion, no meaning, no power. Play two or three notes together, you begin to capture some feeling. Play a sequence of notes, and nothing short of a miracle happens... Music is why I believe in God... Music is divine. How else could mere fluctuations in air pressure have such an incredibly, universally profound effect on a human being? Music is the one language that nearly every human on the planet can understand. You can capture any emotion that the human heart is capable of feeling in a collection of musical notes, and play those notes to another person, and that person will have a tendency to feel that same emotion. Is that not miraculous? Music is the language of God, and the language of the heart.

I'm drained. I'm going to bed.
