As I listen to the smooth notes played on slide guitar it feels like the blankets from your bed wrapped around me. Certain passages of lyrics remind me of the scenery that I pass on the way to be with you. I am moved on a very primal level when I hear what I term "your" music.
Music reminds the body of where it's been. It hardwires sensory information to the reptile brain. And you my dear, moved me in ways I didn't know existed. I have alternately loved and loathed you for it. Nothing comes close...no drug or drink or distraction can erase the things you bring out in me. I cannot escape the scope or depth of my reaction to you.
Saying that I love you is far too simple. I have loved in my life and this is more than that. Obsession may be a more apt term. With you I can surrender who the world sees me as...you get the best of me and bring out the best in me. I can find safety knowing you protect me even from myself....
How did I land here? Reclined in a bathtub listening to melodies that are almost torture to my pleasure sensors? Why are we not tangled up in each other, laughing, kissing, cuddling, teasing and ultimately getting the best sleep we will have all week? Oh! That's right...I have convinced myself that I am conventional and cookie cutter and together we are distinctly NOT.
So, I know everyone is curious to know the songs that evoke such emotion within me. Here goes:
"Someone Like You" by Kings of Leon
"Heartbreak Warfare" by John Mayer
"In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel
"Sex on Fire" by KOL
"Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence
"Porn Star Dancing" by My Darkest Days
"Somewhere With You" by Kenny Chesney
"Powerful Stuff" by Sean Hayes
"Drunk on You" by Luke Bryan
"Edge of Desire" by John Mayer
"Alone With You" by Jake Owen
"Come Over" by Kenny Chesney
"Right Here" by Staind
"Dirt Road Anthem" by Jason Aldean
There it is. I hope you listen to "Somewhere With You" and "Edge of Desire" most of all. I'm pretty sure that you don't love me anymore, but I can't say the same most of the time. Quit ignoring me.
