Have you ever listened to a song and felt like you were floating in the air? Like you could be staring into the stars, listening to something celestial and you just feel. I love experiencing that. I'm not sure if everyone does, and to me, that is so upsetting. Of course I love Justin Bieber or a Weeknd jam as much as the next girl but there's something about feeling something from a piece of music that makes me so thankful that I can experience that. I'm not sure if this is something that everyone experiences. But I would like to try to explain the different times one can experience this and how those times are different.
Sometimes, if you really listen and turn up what you are playing and whatever makes you feel you can hear each chord and each part of the music in your body. I can't place this feeling I just can feel it throughout me. For me, this is when I'm feeling artistic, even though I don't have an artistic bone in my body. I feel like I can create and enjoy and experience life. I wish I could feel this every day.
Sometimes I listen to a song that I liked a long time ago and end up listening to the whole album. The artists' voice makes me nostalgic and its cleansing to listen to. This kind of music makes you feel like your life would be better during an easier time. I like to think my life was just as complicated in 2008 as it is going into 2017 but unfortunately now I have bills to pay, relationships to sort out and a career to somehow fall into. Life is complicated, but this kind of music is cathartic. Appreciate it.
Sometimes songs make me feel sad for absolutely no reason. I could have no emotional connection to it, I may not even be listening to the lyrics it's just the sound of the voice and the music surrounding it. This very well could be because I am listening to it when I am sad in general but this kind of music is pensive. Hear it.
Even now writing this I'm second guessing whether I should put into words these feelings because I'm not sure others feel the same way. I'm sure they do but I'm shy about putting these feelings into words unless you're one of my best friends. Music should be appreciated and shared. Any kind of style that you can feel and experience should be listened to and enjoyed.
It's interesting how music changes your perspective and makes you feel anything at all. A phenomenon that I'm excited yet hesitant to embrace.
