I always have realized that music gets to me. It touches a plethora of emotions within me, always. Whether it's the tune or the lyrics, it's always been there, always. It conveys so many emotions, touches so many boundaries I have had up inside of me, things I never wanted to admit.
Great songwriters and poets have the ability to piece lyrical words together to create words so incredibly powerful on the human psyche. That's what I love, poetry, music, thinking about life deeper than the everyday trivalities. I feel a calling to work on my poetry more. I haven't done any poetry in quite a while, I always love the emotions and depth it produces in me.
The best writers are those who discuss things without regard to their audience, raw human emotion that someone has been too afraid to express before them. That gets to me like nothing else. I'm tired of cliches.
Some lyrics that get to me:
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
Clocks still tickin, life goes on
Radio still plays a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
And it takes all the strength I've got
To stumble to the coffee pot
For My Broken Heart by Reba McEntire
or
A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room
They grab his feet smack him till cries he goes home the next afternoon
Before you know he's off to school and he graduates in May
Goes out and gets a Ph.D. and then cures all sorts of things
Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives
The world a better place for all he's done
It's funny when think about the reason he's alive
Is all because two people fell in love
Two People Fell in Love by Brad Paisley
But lyrics, to me, are the most important thing. If the lyrics are horrible, I won't like the beat that goes with it, period.
On a different note, I decided to keep note of all the little things that happen in my life so when I'm 80 I can look back and revel in the way things were. Should be interesting.

Goodnight, for real this time.
