Am I so Different?

Quite often, I think I would probably die without music.  In certain periods in my life certain songs move me dramatically. I will put these songs on my player and listen to them over and over. I’m usually attracted to sad songs. I think it helps me to cope with certain things that aren’t right in my life. I also think in some way that it helps me to overcome obstacles that may arise later.

I have a theory about dreams as well. I believe that nightmares are our brain’s way of sedating our stressful lives. Did you ever notice that on really good stretches of our lives we are free of bad dreams?  I remember in the Army I would have horrific dreams. The human body is a miraculous thing.  You ever hear that joke that goes: The brain says, “I’m the smartest organ in the human body!” The heart says, Who do you think told you that.”

The song “I’m Alright” by Candlebox has been on my player lately and the song moves me to no end. The lyrics follow:

Its alright what you confess to me
Where you’re at right now baby, its alright with me
Behind your truths or somewhere inside your lies
These long cold days of gray, they color your eyes
And its alright, what you confide in me
Where were at right now baby, its where we need to be
And I can see things so clearly through tear-stained eyes
The side effects of time in all our good-byes, and its alright
I got lost some time ago,Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
Its alright what you say to me
How you feel right now baby, shows an everlasting need
Behind the truth, there’s something inside your lies
These long cold days of rain, they’re hiding your eyes
And its alright, what you express to me
Your song escapes me to this place I want to be
So sing to me baby, your song can carry me
Through endless weeks of rain and onto sweeter things
And its alright
I got lost some time ago,Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
Oh sing to me baby, your song can carry me
In all she’s revealed I found I could always see
How her ways could flow and run over me
And I found this reason to learn
And I found this reason to decide
As many days come and many days go
Ill never know whyAnd its alright
I got lost some time ago,Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
