Do You Hear What I Hear?

I don't know about you, but for me, it is almost impossible to simply listen to a song. Music moves me....I feel it. I am infatuated with catchy tunes, and when a song has a good beat, it creates this involuntary reflex to move. When the passion grows in a song it becomes an anthem for me, regardless of the lyrics (which is a sizeable downfall). What the artist is feeling; I'm feeling. When I'm alone in my car, I crank the music up, so that it feels like it's surrounding me. For me it's an emotional experience. I get a thousand pictures in my mind when I hear a song. I create videos in my head of what the music would look like if it had substance. There is a song for every feeling, and when you listen to those songs while you're feeling whatever it is you're feeling it becomes an expression of that emotion. It's a release for me to get out feelings and thoughts. It's beautiful and I love it.
