Closer to Fine

I know I talk a lot about the same stuff over and over again, and for that I am sorry.
Sometimes I feel like I haven't found every passion, every love, every category I belong to yet, so my perspective on life is limited only to that of which I have experienced.
I hope that every day my horizons will be broadened and ever day I find something else I can be passionate about.
But for now, there is only me.

There are certain songs in my life that when I hear them they shoot straight towards my heart.
I am sure everyone of us has a song or two that brings up nostalgic memories from the past.
But sometimes a song has no relative connection to your life through memory .
Sometimes the lyrics blend right into what ever you are experiencing at that time in your life.
maybe the melody or rhythm sparks an endorphin in your brain.
whatever it may be, there are certain songs we feel connected to, whether by accident or fate.

For me right now, this song rings true.
It makes me so happy every time I listen to it.



Have you heard of brainworms?
Not the creepy things from sci-fi movies but brainworms in relation to music.
I am sure it has happened to ever one of us sometime during our lives.
You hear a song on the radio and then for the rest of the day its stuck inside your head
repeating over and over and over and over again.
that would be a brainworm...well according to this cool british author/neurologist Oliver Sacks

For me I have an extreme case of brainworms.
I always have a song in my head, it doesn't matter what time of day or what I am doing, there is always a song.
It changes throughout the day depending on what happens.
Sometimes people spark a new song simply by stating a specific relative word within a sentence.
Sometimes other songs spark a new song, simply by reminding me of another tune.
Or the radio, just simply the radio.

Good thing I love music
my friends call me their ipod because I can usually name almost any song .
If they have a question about lyrics, or author or  etc. they come to me.
Although, it can be embarrassing if I don't have the answer.

I found this little pic on the blog by Achtung Baby!
And I fell in love with it.


When I see this pic it reminds me of myself
I know, how selfish!
But it's true.

I know I have done an unnatural amount of posts about music.
But I think you can understand why now.
It is simply, my life
It is always in my life
It surrounds me literally... isn't your head surround-sound? technically

Even though at this present moment I have a total number of readers: zero!
I want to put out the question,
what song is important to you right now?
not, what is your favorite song--I hate those kinds of questions.
But just, what song is important in your life right now?
