The power of music

[nadriel]

I should really be more careful. I went out tonight to an Open Mic acoustic guitar night at a local club. Unfortunately, I went on my own was a mistake. See, I'm fairly vulnerable to good music, whatever emotion it is trying to evoke, and the musicians playing were good. But they were all playing melancholy pieces. And since I had no-one to talk to, my full attention (or at least as much as I ever have on one thing at a time) was on the music.

Suddenly, the weight of my woes was back on my shoulders. I decided to leave before I did something silly like bursting into tears in the dark corner I was sitting in.

Pity, because the music was very good. It was just inappropriately timed, as I still have a few old wounds that are prone to being reopened.

*sigh*

More cheerful posts again tomorrow, I promise.

I'm a sucker like that when it comes to music. Some songs will open me up and make me so hyperactive you can't keep me still (induces much bouncing and the words "I LOVE THIS SONG!")

Whereas others will instantly make me mopey, because they remind of someone or something that hurts...

I offer you *huggles*

If I were you, I would have gone for the bursting into tears thing...music induced weeping is so CLEANSING...

But I'd prefer not to do it in a room full of strangers...
