The exciting tickle of music.

Music takes over my life. I got lost in a CD, my piano, lyrics. I get soaked in. I hear a chord or vibrato and I shudder and feel the tickling excitement, running up my back, legs, and arms. Sometimes I hear music and my jaw clenches. And I bite inside my mouth so hard it bleeds. I taste the music. I taste the blood. Music flows through me. It seeps into my pores and hides inside my veins. It aches to get out. It dances. It sings. It is free, fresh, exciting. It is harsh, closed-in, bland. It is there, always waiting to be let go. I don't claim to me an amazing musician. I can barely play an instrument. And I don't know how to use my diaphragm. But music takes me in, takes me over, and bursts through me.

Until next time, Ciao.
