Huh, cool.
I bet there are a lot of MB members who would agree with your opinion, actually.
I put a lot of emotional weight into listening to music. I use it when I write in my diary, and it brings out a lot of unknown thoughts and inspiration also. I wonder if I choose to listen to music that represents me, or if the music has defined me, over time?
