Breathing, Eating, Sleeping, Music
Certain songs will pull me into the past, or pull the past into the room with me. Or maybe it's both. Sometimes the music just opens up current emotions within myself. It's a strange feeling of happy sadness, or sad happiness. It's picturing the comforts and snapshots of home in my mind, and just giving in to feelings. Postal Service, Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie. These bands have a beautifully elegant emotion to their music that cannot help but make me reminisce. This type of music just provides the background to which my emotions play out. I play Anti-Flag or Green Day to vent my political emotions, I play Death Cab for my emotional emotions, I play Tsunami Bomb punk rock to just vent my pent up energy. Whatever my mood, music is there. Putting on a cd seems a simplistic action, but music is part of my life. Whether listening to it or playing it, I breathe it in, become part of it, create it to my liking in my mind. It's a beautiful thing when done right, and not lip-synched or choreographed for profit.
