the world of gayePLUG YOURSELF IN

I think my most cherished possesion would have to be my mp3 player. Last week I had to do a lot of walking and so I put some new songs on my player and away I went. I got up, got dressed and plugged myself in to my music. What joy I feel when the music invades my head. I started out strutting along to the drums of Cloudbusting by Kate Bush who is always a revelation to me.
Then the song finished and the smooth sounds of Marving Gaye and "Let's Get it On" crooned through my body, as I slowed from a fast march and found myself gliding along and soothed by his voice.
I always feel like the notes are dancing through me when I block out the world and plug my ears in to my wonderful music. It's my release from the world when it gets to harsh. And so I continue along and the beautiful, beautiful song "This House is Empty Now" by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacarach fills my ears, if you have never heard this album "Painted From Memory" you need to. It is one of the best albums I have ever heard, two genuises together.
The next selection is just for fun, "Spirit In the Sky" and I have to stop myself from singing and dancing in the street with strangers all around me. Oh how I would love to just sing out loud and break into a mad dance just to see the looks on thier faces, but I just speed up my steps and move my head in time to the beat and keep my enjoyment my little secret. I near my destination and I slow down because I don't want to turn my little happy machine off. I would rather spend my day lost in these wonderful sounds that sink into my bones than listen to the bullshit people want to throw at me in some meaningless conversation. And so I enjoy one last song before returning to the real world, what should I listen to out of my songs? I choose the bluesy voice of Joe Cocker, I love the voice and I just love his old stuff, Darling be Home Soon, Feeling Alright, Deta Lady, I Stand in Wonder !!
I can never understand people who don't just love music, any kind of music, I just don't get them at all. To me it's as essential as food or air. So if you haven't got an Ipod or MP3 player get one now and plug yourself in to the music, you will get so much enjoyment out of it.
