certain songs bring me back from death... death meaning the lack of life, true passion and drive...
the power behind the arts is amazing... humans are such deep creatures; so deeply faceted. so much in us cannot be expressed through simple living. this is not a plain cookie cutter black and white reality. the absolutes are fuzzy and no one is really right. music is the only thing that can express and touch without validity or proof. it just does and is and no one can prove it or explain it.
what does this ridiculous song mean to you? perhaps it is just stupid gibberish. but not to me. it lightens my grey nothingness. i see yellow specks within my shadows and they are full of spunk and flames. often when i am hiding and sinking, i withdraw from everything including music and art. but it always finds me. i can't stay away. it draws me out and forces me to grieve so i can move on. facing music is like facing everything i'm trying to push down and avoid. i hear it and immediately cry. and then for some reason it's beautiful but i can't explain it.
thank you owl city for fireflies.

I knew you when . . .
I love your writing and how you can express yourself!
I have always been affected by music as well. There are certain songs that will immediately remind me of a place and time, or some happy or hard thing I was going through.
Wow - the last paragraph! I might save it in my quote book - You articulated what I go through but couldn't put into words like that!
