had a revelation. sort of. or maybe i just came across the right words. 

music is the art of feeling. it's pure feel. 

yes, you could analyze it. you don't if you don't connect to the feel immediately, and you would anyways after the first impression, the emotional blow, fades out. good music would pass that test too. 

but what i mean is that the first thing about a good song is what it does to you. the way it plays in your head while you're thinking that this song is exactly how you feel. and how nothing else describes it better, nothing else understands you better in that instance. 

me, i could travel through numerous feelings a day, and if i stick to the mood of letting my heart rule my playlist for a whole day, it could be like a bunch of totally different songs. I've had hours in which beethoven, tool, depeche mode, mika and the red hots squized into the same hour.

but in longer terms, i think that there's always a song that stays me for a longer time. like some of elliott smith and silverchair lately. somehow very similar to my inner state. 

my point being... its a great art. its not just about writing great words, having a nice groove, create inspiring melodies, playing it all the best. when music fits your heart and provokes your emotions, when you feel like that song was written just for you, thats the very best music gets. and putting that in your music demands a different kind of gift, and it demands a sensitive and open heart. it demands your own soul.
