red blue green
I get into these moods sometimes, and sometimes I will know without a doubt that a certain song completely embodies the emotions of that mood. When that happens, I take steps to luxuriate in that song, and that song alone. I put it on repeat and just let it wash over and around me until I feel immersed, until I'm saturated by it. It gives me a sense of complete freedom, to just give myself over to this one collection of harmonies, melodies, lyrical content, and to experience it over and over again. Each listen is slightly different, influenced by the one that came before. If I liken it to traversing the length of an emotional journey, each listen is a footstep along the way. When I am satisfied, when I have reached journey's end, I sit in silence.
It probably wreaks havoc with my Last.fm stats. ;-)
