I feel my hair dancing

What I experienced on the early morning of the 2nd of January, while listening to this song.
I find the way people experience music to be very interesting. The meaning I get from music changes very often depending on what I've lived through, and I reference song lyrics as if they were quotations from a book. For others it's a method of relaxation and escapism, it keeps them focused and ready. I find it very hard to settle down to music, I feel like I have to live it and understand it and relate to it for me to enjoy it -- maybe that says something about how I accept things in my life.
But I do occasionally sleep to my cd player, it has been known to happen. What would usually be a distraction keeping me awake is rather a tool that lets me drift away...
