When it comes to music, it has never been quite that easy for me to explain why I like what I like, why certain songs and artists move me. I feel like if I could just telepathically send messages of what I'm seeing in my mind, maybe it would make sense, or even better, be able to convey the emotions that pass through me during a particular moment in a song. Maybe its not that important to try to explain. Maybe its just important that I feel so much.
The other day on the bus as I was watching the traffic pass in a blur, my eyes started to water and that familiar lump started rising in my throat and I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold back my tears. Perhaps I was just tired and stressed from the events of the day and needed something, anything to release all the tension I was feeling. Maybe I had realized in that moment that everything I love and hate about the world, my life, how I yearn to express myself can be summed up in the way a guitar sounds in a song or how the lyrics seem to express exactly what makes my insides fall apart.
