Dear Jonathan,
Why do you like music so much? I just saw you at the free access lab playing youtube music out loud and not caring who gave a shit! How could you? You could have at least asked me to be there to listen as well. I LOVE music. I LOVE ALL music!!! Chinese, english, jap, korean, cantonese, (havent heard malay/indian before sorry). Since we're talking about the Romantic Period in 103, I believe this post will correctly associate these two genres with each other. Music has sentiment, the supernatural, spontaneity, the common and ordinary, everything! It tunes our feelings so much with the lyrics and rhythm that we become one with the music; and this is heightened by closing your eyes and really feeling the intricate, delicate strings of music, of each tone, accompanied with the vocal enunciation of words that carry so much meaning with the tune; it just makes you wanna drown in it, and forget everything. I love emo songs the best, as they really set u in a contemplative mood and bring back sad/fond memories. Every song has a story behind it as well, and im more into the emotional side of songs.
Lovely how songs can touch the heart-strings and throw us into a downward spiralling stairway of feelings and thoughts.
So, Jonathan, I believe our likings are similar. I am as like you as you are me; we are one? LOL holy shit this is getting weird. But sometimes you and I can be two separate entities, two body of thoughts. I would like to agree with you most of the time, but sometimes I just can't, it's not right. Sorry pal, but that's just how it is : )

Best Regards,
Hsien Jun
