The Feeling Of Music

Again my good friend the Dragon has been the muse for a blog. I am gonna have to stop reading his stuff first. LOL. On to the blog.

Have you really ever had a song that evoked such a strong emotion in you that when you hear it you are virtually paralyzed? There are a few songs that do that for me. The first is Who's Gonna Drive You Home by the Cars. That has creepy emotions and causes nightmares for me. I won't speak of them. They are very scary. The other, however is my most favorite song in the entire song world. I have never had another song touch me so deeply and positively in my life. This song is the song that when life sucks or is super great I listen to, what song do you ask? Orinoco Flow by Enya. What a magnificent song! It brings mental images to me of colors, freedom, oceans and peace that can not be paralleled or even verbalized fully. It is the song that when I hear it sleeping brings dreams of peace, hope and ultimately love. I am gonna turn it on right now as I type this blog, just to have the endorphin rush. Man, what a great song! I know this seems a bit odd, but this is the song I want to be played at my funeral. It is the true essence of my soul. It calms me. As I listen to it now, I feel like I am on a secret vacation or mission like those in the books by Francis Ray. I want to visit all of the places and see all of the people and things that are expressed in this song. It makes the world seem like a welcoming place and not the war torn, scary place it is becoming. Please share your favorite songs.
