Sacred Songs

Writing about sacred movies reminded me about sacred songs.

Same feelings go with them too.

Here is what makes some songs sacred for me:

1.I find the song on my own. If a friend recommends me a song I just loose respect for it because it usually is some common shit everyone listens to and I hate listening to common shit that everyone listens to because there is nothing unique about it. I like my music unique

2. The first time I hear that song I can’t think anything because I am so entranced. The second time I listen to the song I feel like there is someone out there who understands my song choice because every single beat of that song are what I wanted to hear, except before that music, I didn’t even know what I wanted

3. It is NOT a song everyone listens to. I keep hoping and wishing that my favorite bands stay underground bands FOREVER so no one except me would listen to them and no one would have a chance to describe them using common terms (which is disrespectful because the songs they make are sacred)

The other day I was searching for some videos to help me understand something in my biology book so I downloaded a video and played it. I LITERALLY couldn’t breathe properly for a second because the background music that was playing was so damn amazing. (I’m not exaggerating). I couldn’t stop listening to it and I played it again and again and again and again. Then after a few weeks, I said to myself “hey there is no harm in sharing it with caution” so I told a friend. And guess how he described it? “NICE SLOW SONG”. Yes. I shit you not. He LITERALLY described it as a NICE SLOW SONG. Because surely, synonym of “music-that-makes-you-whoozy-with-joy” is “a-nice-slow-song”

See what I mean? That’s why I don’t like sharing my music with people. They just don’t understand the depth of it. Or maybe they do and just can’t describe it. Or maybe it isn't such a big deal anyways. But it is for me. So I guess It’s better to privately fall in love with a song than openly exhibit it when you know others won’t feel the same way about it.
