Music to my Ears

There is a song for every moment and every emotion. There is something very comforting about slipping ear buds into your ears and pressing play. Sometimes you have to hit the next button a few, or a few hundred, times but it is always worth it. Be it the words or the music, there is always a melody that you can relax into. It is the audio version of your favourite arm chair, the one that's big enough for you to tuck your feet under your bum and rest your head on the back cushion. Maybe it is not just a song, but an entire album, band or play-list. At times, your whole body settles into the music. Either your head starts to loose control and bob along to the beat, or you leg muscles twitch along and if they don't you can feel it inside your head, bouncing off the walls and rearranging thoughts.

It is not the same as playing music. Playing music requires focus and concentration. You cannot sit back, you must sit up and pay attention to where your fingers are going. Unless that is, you have become so comfortable with you instrument that you can sit back and just listen as your body creates music all by itself.
