Random Thoughts on Love and Music

"Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are"
--John Dryden

Something I don't think people understand about me is my views on love and sex and devotion. My views are highly passionate. I'm a really passionate person. Ask anyone that's pissed me off lol

I don't think love is perfect, in fact I have a rather dark view of love. No pink flowers and hearts with this girl. Nope. I think the most romantic color is black.

I think trust between two people is defined by boundaries that are extremely deep and intense. Being able to trust someone completely, with every inch of your heart and soul and body is the ultimate devotion. Being able to turn over complete control is something that I think truly defines love. Trusting someone to the point of it being reckless.

Basically, using the most overused phrase of all time: Love hurts.

"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony."
--Benjamin Britten


Music is love to me. Painful and beautiful and sometimes just so horrible you can't even bare to experience it. It captivates, it stimulates, it teaches, it touches our souls.

We are born as humans to sing just as we're born to love. We're made for both. They even did a study on the effects of singing on a person's well being. People who sang we're happier and healthier AFTER they began singing more often. Singing is good for the soul. Unless you can't sing, then just sing to yourself. With the radio turned up. Loud.

Love is just as complicated as music. One little thing goes wrong, everyone hears it. It's obvious to those involved.

A beautiful song is just as painful as heartache. That's what makes it so good.

Just some random thoughts...

I could not have put this entry any better. My thoughts exactly. When I hear music I get lost in it. If I hear a hurtful song... I hurt as well. Great blog!!

I love music. I think it has tremendous power....for good and for bad. There's nothing like a powerful, inspiring, and moving piece of music.

Ah...a kindred spirit in ways. I am drawn to passionate people. Life without passion is barely a life worth living.
I do think that half the battle (or more) is finding what we are passionate about...the other half is pursuing it and LIVING it.

Great entry...
