A routine I've noticed in my day-to-day life is something that occurs in my old friend darkness, during the...sounds of silence.
It involves me, in complete isolation, lying in bed. (No, it's nothing sinister)
I turn my laptop on, load up YouTube, Spotify and iTunes...and the world of music is at my finger tips. This is the one true time of day where I can listen to music, soak it in and really feel it's affects.
Headphone's on - Volume at 100% - complete isolation.
I tend to sway towards mellow songs at this time of night, lyrics triumph over the music.Favourites seem to be Simon & Garfunkel, The Smiths, Crowded House and then some form of early soul/blues tunes.
I've noticed the effect this routine has upon me; it put's me into a really calm state of mind. A chilled optimism like everything is running in harmony - a status quo.
If only this feeling stayed 24/7, it seems to be the part of the day I looked forward to the most! Thats bad isn't it - I look forward to isolation, haha.
Truth is, I have OCD when it comes to music, some call it being a perfectionist - other's refer to it as 'slave driver', so at this time of the night I'm my own DJ. I don't have to judge the crowd's reaction, just my own.
No-one can ever be a better DJ than yourself, mainly because no-ones know's you better!
If I could stay in this state of mind constantly, I would be a great person.
Music is my therapy, it affects everything in one way or another....
By the way, on a completely random note, here's a great photo of Paris I found and edited...
I'm Currently Listening to Sammy Davis Jnr - Mr. Bojangles
