Some music just doesn't make you dance anymore

Yes, some music, fast music, just couldn't make me dance anymore, those music that we hear in shops, bars, and anywhere.

They aim at arousing moves, suit to be played in common places. They are on the chart this week, then replaced by the next. Once a guy saw me completely unmoved by some fast songs and asked "What kind of music do you like?" I simply shrugged, saying any kind. I didn't tell him the rest of my answer, "any kind that tells a story, any kind that moves me, any kind that lasts,"

Like an old friend. Good music hugs you, brings warmth to you even when you two may not see each other often. Hello, I'm lonely. I'm sad. I'm excited. I want to mourn. I want to celebrate. Come along with me. This special moment, this nothing-so-special moment, I want to be with you.

I'm with you.

I understand when you want to smile, when you want to cry. Come here. Lie closer. Let me sing to you to your ears, let me hear from you too.

What would I be without you? I can't even start to imagine. Some music stops to be interesting enough to make you smile and dance, some continues to be.

Today, I'm listening to Jack Johnson's, my long-lost old friend :)
