Music makes the feelings come to life

Today I thought I would try to get a bit away from the "here is my heart and soul" posts I have done lately. But I aren't quite ready to leave them completely so I thought I would mix it with my love for music for now. 

The thing with music is it makes you feel, at least good music does. Real music. The kind of music you don't listen to only to fill the silence, the kind of music that speaks to you, that have your blood humming and feels like a caress.
There is music that have been more important to me then anything. There is music I can't listen to because it hurts too much. But I am a sucker for pain so when I feel really down I tend to get stupid and listen to the painful music instead of listening to music that makes me feel good. 

Awhile back Thomas put on Kent's song 747 and it was pain. It was the kind of pain that makes your lungs clamp together and you have to struggle to breathe. I could barely ask him to turn it off, and I felt like an idiot for telling him because I couldn't explain right then.
For the same reason I don't really listen to Lars Winnerbäck anymore, too much pain. Too many lyrics and songs that bring back not only memories, but even the smells and sounds. Memories to vivid to be tolerable. 

For some reason I can still listen to Bush's song Glycerine and I aren't sure why, it was a song I listened to a lot one of the times everything went to hell (oh yes, things have gone to hell several times) but I guess that song was comfort and not only to dive deeper into pain.
I know a lot of people hate Courtney Love and Hole but I always kinda liked her music, even though I can't listen to it anymore either. Listening to Dying is pretty much like having someone stomp on your heart. 

Yeah, well, ok. This post was uplifting and nice? Just more emotional babbling from me. I seriously need to get over this and start writing about something else. Or at least write about something else because getting over things just isn't my thing. 

Any suggestions for tomorrows topic?

Over and out
