Music To My Ears...

How is it that a song...just one song can change your whole day? Why don't I listen to music all the time? Why don't I just turn on music when I'm feeling down? I was feeling shitty a few minutes ago...a song later, my spirits have lifted. Three later, I'm dancing around my house.

What business do I have feeling anything less than euphoric anyway? It's a beautiful day...none of my loved ones are fighting in Iraq, I have a beautiful home...and a stereo.

~ Robert Browning

~ Victor Hugo

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."
~ Aldous Huxley

"Music is the shorthand of emotion."
~ Leo Tolstoy

"Without music, life would be a mistake."
~  Friedrich Nietzsche
