This fascinates me. It's like the universal language.
I used to think my obsession was something unusual, or special. Funny how as you get older you realise, the things you thought were weird about yourself really aren't that weird, and you're not as alone as you may ever have thought.
I really do love music though, I love a clever song with genius and occasionally random lyrics. A song that catches in your mind and plays over. I love how it can express the things you thought only you were experiencing, and unite you with the others, reminding you that you're not alone in your heart break. I love how it can inspire and motivate. I love how a song that can take you flying on the wings of your imagination. or how hearing a song can trigger forgotten memories. Taking you back to a time or a place. To a moment of love, or loss. It can bring out emotions that you thought were gone, or help relieve the ones you can't let go of. Music seems to help you feel. Mostly music just fills me with joy. And makes me smile. Occasionally it makes me cry. Music has a strange power. It's like it speaks to our soul... Whatever that means. Because of this it seems important to me, to be a little bit careful about what we listen to, because it lasts a long time... If it's me, It pretty much wont ever be forgotten, and I never know when it will be back.
I don't know if this is normal or not, I think it is, but maybe not quite the same frequency that it happens to me! My mind plays songs to me all the time. Half of the time, I can't figure out what has triggered that specific song. This fascinates me. I've started writing down the lines of lyrics that pop into my head when they do. Poor people on twitter being polluted by my mind music.
"Ai ai ai ai I am a butterfly, I need your protection, be my samurai"
"it's like wishing for rain, as I stand in the desert"
"i'm gettin' near to you because you've got to me, in a way words can't describe, i'm gettin' near to you because I've got to be, you're essential to survive, I'm gonna love you with my life"
"I said hey do you like it like that, I'm the only one who can love you like that"
"Life after hair cuts is too short and the scissors don't care how it looked before"
"I said don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot"
"Come on, come on Turn a little faster Come on, come on The world will follow after Come on, come on Cause everybody's after love"
"Too much of a good thing, is a good thing. Feelings like this can't be wrong"
"And he shall reign forever and ever, hallelujah, hallelujah, forever forever"
This is yesterday afternoons mix over a period of a couple of hours. Random hey. But It makes my life so much more entertaining, it's sort of like a musical! Somoeone will mention a word, than everyone breaks into a song in my memory and people start doing a syncronised dance!
Okay, So maybe I am weird. But I love it. ;-P
"And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along"
