Music becomes part of your soul after a while. Right when you connect certain songs or albums or even melodies to profound events in your life is how you know. Or even to stupid times when you goofed around with someone you love. I don't have to point out that R.E.M. is this band, this music that makes me feel familiar to myself when nothing else can.
You should listen.
I almost didn't want to mention R.E.M. in this little rave because it makes me
instantly vulnerable
and also quite jealous that you could be listening, experiencing, absorbing my music, my soul...
