about music!

Music is an expression of something I want to feel at the moment I listen to a song of my choice. This definition implies a plan; I choose the music and sometimes the reflected emotion too. But how can we plan the things we want or feel? Can we ever plan our preferences? This is still a mystery for me, although there might exist people out there able to enforce a total control on the freedom of their senses and consequently actions. 

When in love, I prefer to listen to a song that keeps the image, the picture of love in my mind (is it sad when you depict love using a song?) and especially when I'm in a failing in-love state, I enjoy a song which creates this very common, sad picture of a desperate, emotional but kind person (Romeo and Juliet), maybe because my (re)actions are not very kind in general.

Music is a friend, a nice company that sometimes comes with an opinion about things and other times is irrelevant to my current state. But it is there when I need it, acting like an old friend who understands my inner self (Old Love). Because music shapes in what I need at the moment of listening. But is this real or an illusion? Music is very real, but we, humans, live in the imaginary from time to time. That makes life interesting.

One day, I might come up with a better approach -in this short one I managed to contradict with myself- of what I feel about music but this needs inspiration, something I have forgotten somewhere. I just know I'm in love with her. And usually love feelings don't occur in a random fashion. There is a significant correlation somewhere, inside a sort-of set of dimensions.
