Have you ever felt a longing that you can't still? No, it's not that you can't, it's that you don't want to, because it's beautiful and worthy of feeling? And besides, you want to feel deep into it, to figure out what exactly it is that you're feeling?
It hurts and you want to feel it in full. Cause sadness is just another taste of emotions, something sour instead of sweet, and it's powerful. It's intense. It makes you feel real. Alive.
And there's no better way to feel than through music.
drown me in music, thus my soul will be freed
That's exactly what my newly-published poem, Turn on Sad Music is about.
