� 2007-04-15 - 1:58 p.m. I hardly ever listen to music anymore. I like music. But it's intrusive. For example, I couldn't write this if music was playing in the background. Too distracting. But I think the main reason I don't listen to music much anymore is it affects me too much. Just last weekend I was listening to All In All by Dexys Midnight Runners. It's a great song. And the lyrics* are not particularly sad or anything. In fact, kinda opaque to me. But it's the tune, I guess. So, it's a waltz, and as I got taken away in it, I imagined waltzing with a imaginary woman. Holding her close, my hand in the small of her back, her breath in my ear, mmmmm. Then I thought that the likelihood of doing that, of feeling that, again, in this life, is small. And that was crushing. That's music for me. It's like that alot. The tune itself, the melody, can just drive me into an emotional state. It doesn't help that I like some rather melancholy music either.
