What is it about music that just gets into you. That certain song on the radio that you'll sit in your car for and be late to hear the end of it? Or sitting quietly with something on that takes you completely away from where you are. Sometimes it feels like your body can't quite contain the feelings that music brings. And certain songs will take you right back to the cheerleading bus (Jack and Diane) Or sitting with friends in an old house looking out at a weeping willow tree having a beer and writing a paper (The Color Purple). I play the piano and guitar but was never able to improvise or write music and that frustrated me no end. Sometimes I'll dream at night and will be composing the most amazing music, and that small watcher that is in us all realizes I'm dreaming and says you must remember this music. But it never makes it until morning. I'm just left aware that something magical has slipped away.
Do you sometimes feel like you are slightly removed from the world? Like you are watching and learning something but aren't quite aware of what? And always the feeling that I'm not alone, that someone is with me always. Not in a creepy go see a shrink way, but just like I have someone keeping me company. I suppose many will say it's God, or a guardian angel, and that could be true. I was just always aware even from the time when I was little that it wasn't just me going around.
So I'll go and listen to some music for a while transport myself and enjoy the evening.
Good Night
