the thing about a good song is that when u put it on at the right time, everything seems perfect for that 3 minute span
i haven't gotten this feeling as much lately i think back over the years when i was depressed in 05 i listened to tricky and even in my depressed state i felt so good when i would put his music on i remember in 04 when i was so much into the streets album "a grand don't come for free" ..i felt like that album was one of the greatest things ever .. i listened to that thing like crazy i remember listening to charles hamilton starting at the end of 08 for two years straight almost completely exclusively.. i know that sounds like a long time but he did like 50 albums literally and i pretty much liked all of them one thing i've noticed though is you can't ever really go back and get into something the way u used to it has a time period and then its over.. u have to find your new thing u identify with its interesting to look back and see ur fave music.. but not just your fave music- also all the reasons WHY it was ur favorite and see that's the hidden factor in music.. time period.. like all the planets lining up to make u enjoy a song to the fullest extent for example u may have a person at this point in their life: 1. just got out of a long relationship 2. emotionally/mentally ok but still sad inside 3. young 4. introverted or how about this person: 1. in a major personal growth period 2. becoming more extroverted everyday 3. very desirable and flirtatious with the opposite sex 4. feeling secure these people will likely be into different music because they are in diff places in their life.. that's one "magical" aspect of music.. its not only a reflection of yourself, but also a reflection of where u currently are.. your temperament, what u value, what u have seen, what u want to see, etc u don't know if you found it, or if it found u, but either way.. when u turn up the volume on the song, u feel like ur turning up the volume on your life so how about u.. are u in a place where u are truly FEELING whatever music u like? why is that? or are u in a place where nothing seems to speak for you? are u in a transition period in your life? a lot of my best times in life seem to be when i really identify with music, not just on a sound level but on every invisible plane involved right now i am not experiencing this.. i guess u could say i feel like a lot of music is dumb content-wise to a point where i can't take it seriously but i hope i can find something to identify with again hopefully it will be myself one day.. i just need to make a perfect album!
