"LOVE"

You might think this is going to be about Valentine's day, but it's not. Or maybe it is. Maybe with all the hearts and hype around lately it's opened me up to feel even more than I normally would, but there's no way to be sure. All I know is that I'm in love. ...but maybe not in the typical fashion one might refer to. Let me explain.
One of my bands released a new album today. As I sit here listening to it in the dark, I am captured by what I can only describe as love. The excitement, the anticipation...never knowing whats coming next, or even knowing whats coming next and knowing how it makes you feel...it makes my heart pump faster just thinking of it. I wish I had more words to describe it. I wish I knew what one thing I could say to sum it up- to make everyone be able to sit back and say "ah, I know just the feeling."
Everyone describes love as this amazing phenomenon. Something epic and most of all, something that can't be explained, but can only be felt. That's how I feel as I lay down, feeling the beat of the music and feeling my emotions rise and drop with each new experience. That's what they are- these songs...they aren't songs so much as experiences. If you listen to them right. That's what all music is.
And so I lay here full of love. Not listening to music, but experiencing it. Its something I don't really expect people to understand, but something I felt the need to express anyway because my heart is so full. Its something I want to share with everyone I know. I hope everyone feels this way about something in their life...because its these moments of love that make everything better.
