Again, this is very eeenteresting, meeshter Bond. The "how you feel when you listen to music" strand, at least. The Simpsons stuff is doing my head in. Anyhoo, my take on the whole thing is that music (well, *good* music, at least) should be something that you get totally immersed in; like nothing else counts except for the particular series of air compressions that you are listening to at that time. And, quite importantly, the people and places that it makes you think of. The best way I can describe my own feelings on listening to stuff that I consider to be special (and this is where the rest of you probably start to feel that I've gone mad again) is that it's definitely comparable to the feeling you get when you wake up in the morning, raise your head from the pillow, and realise that you're lying next to someone that you unreservedly love. It's that same "It-just-doesn't-get-any-better-than-this", butterflies-in-stomach feeling. Or it is for me, anyway. I'm not too sure about all this subconscious validation or transcending of reality mullarkey, but there again they both contain words of more than one syllable, so it's not surprising really. Come to think of it, syllable has more than one syllable. Oh, bugger. Hope this made a small amount of sense, Hasta banana, lol p xx. -- -----------------------------*||*-------------------------------- "Reality never seems to work out quite the way you want it to..."
