Music is for the lonely

Music is for the lonely, I say. Because that's when you can truly appreciate the moods the writer and singer put into it. No distraction and play in full blast so you can hear the singer's each breath. Let the rythem take you and digest the lyric as if you're singing it.
Yes, it's been a while since I have been able to do this on my own. This was an activity I knew well as a lonely teenager, before boyfriends and before kids.... and without peer pressure of what type of music it is "cool" to like and dislike. So bring on the old Chinese folk songs and I would sway to them as I did as a little girl.
