There's nothing more important than the loving relationship that you have with your favorite band, album, or song. Music is what connects total strangers who have nothing in common, but the groove. A yuppie is best friends with a hippie because they both love Bob Dylan. The yuppie loves Dylan because Dylan makes him feel liberated from the day to day nothingness of sitting at a desk. A hippie loves Dylan because Dylan helps him structure his thoughts, his life.
A good groove can take any day and turn it around. When you're driving around in your car, totally pissed because you couldn't afford to buy enough gas to last you the week, a Prince song comes on and immediately you're smiling, singing along, and dancing in your seat. You feel better and when the song is over you realize that everything is okay, it's just one bad day or week and it's not the end of the world. The groove helps you pull through.
I realize we're going through an economic crisis, but if you'd just stop stressing out for a few songs, you'd be able to pull through. It doesn't cost anything to put the radio on and flip through the stations until you find a song you haven't listened to in a while or a song that you're embaressed to like, but you love it anyways. Embrace the sheer joy of turning up the radio to its loudest and yelling along to the song, you could even change the lyrics to something silly while you're singing along.
Music makes you carefree. Music makes you feel. Music breaths life into your lungs.
Embrace the groove, love the groove, dance to the groove.
