The Wearing of Music

Lately I've been listening to a lot of music when I write (or blog, journal,etc)...

I also find that I keep certain songs on repeat and by repeat I mean MANY, MANY, MANY times over and over (past the point of irritation for many).  So much so that it's almost like I am trying to absorb the melody and the words into my skin.

Sometimes it's the latest pop song (I'm not immune to Katy Perry) or whatever melancholy song strikes out at me.  I like those sad songs.  As Elton would say, "they say so much."

I wear those songs like armour, embracing each swell and lull. Each pluck of a guitar string or plink of a piano key make up who I am.  All of it mood based for the most part.

I'm trying not to be anxious about things I have no control over and music helps me in that sense.
I've been playing music a lot this week...and now I need to snuggle up and get some sleep. 
Tomorrow is a big day.
