Hello my fellow musical potatoes.
Music has a mystical charm over people. Since man first discovered sound, it has been used to lift
people's spirits, raise morale, demoralize enemies, march people to wars, and even to entertain and educate.
Music is as diverse as we humans are...nay, I would say it is diverse precisely because we are.
But I'm not here to talk about how music affected humanity, or even a specific mass.
No, this topic is about you.
Have you ever had a certain song or a musical piece that always seem to put you in a certain mood or state of mind?
How music is interpreted tells us a lot about ourselves, as well as other people.
Whether it's an instrumental that never fails to put you in an excited, happy mood, or
a song that has a tendency to whiplash you into a melancholic, introspective insight.
Share with us your music.
Share with us your feelings.

Street Spirit is one of my first experiences with this phenomenon.
This song starts out dark, and end in dark, as if entering a tunnel with no exit. Listening to it felt like
going on a journey with no destination, but instead of hope and excitement, you're filled with dread and despair.
You're a wandering spirit, lost on earth with no purpose or memory of what you're doing.
Worst of all, it ends that way. There's no closure, no alternatives, no happy ending.
All I'm left with is a heavy heart, and the thought that I, too, will "fade out" one day.
My only respite is to "immerse my soul in love", until then.
