Sometimes I feel so hungry for music, I'm overwhelmed with a desire to listen to many, many artists at once. Names and songs rush madly through my head, like a freight train running late to its next destination. I want to sing. I want to close my eyes and listen. I want to dance. I want to sit still and absorb. I want to feel the music flowing through me. At times like these I wish my body could be a giant musical sponge - if I could just pour the songs, like paint, into a giant tray, letting all the colours mix and mingle... then I would dive in, letting the sounds, the emotions, the textures seep through every pore of my being. Such an intense desire, and at times like these I feel as though there isn't enough time to satisfy the cravings. While I'm listening to one song, I'm already thinking about another song that I desperately want to listen to.
I don't know what it is that brings about these bouts of craziness. But it's clear that music is a deep part of who I am and what I desire to maintain in my life.
