I’m not going to tag anyone.
A while ago I posted about how songs can have a certain effect on me. It’s sort of a tugging feeling. I feel like the music has a hand, and the hand slips under my skin, past my muscles, slides through the bones and settles, momentarily, on my lungs, heart, and stomach before ever-so-gently squeezing. It’s a remarkable feeling, really. It’s like being head-over-heels infatuated with someone, but to a lesser intensity. However, unlike the infatuation’s intensity, the music’s intensity never relinquishes. It feels brand new every time. All the songs above do that to me. Does this happen to anyone else?
