Music is so special to me. There was a time around my college years when almost everything I did was accompanied by music, I had these little speakers and played everything loud enough to make people around me change their mood for a few moments. I loved to musicalize moments and feel like the vibe changed according to the music I played, I also liked to find the perfect music to express what I felt at the moment, it was one of the ways I connected non verbally with the people around me, some people felt the same way I did and what I played allowed them to really connect to it and express it, for a moment.
This song came to my life at that time of my life, I remember when I first heard it and found myself incredibly captivated by its sound and also excited to play it at lunch the next day, I also showed it to people on headphones hoping they felt the same way I did, they rarely did.
I specially loved the middle part of the song when the song gets calmer and some chords introduce a new melody, the one where James Mercer sings “Running in circles, a mouse on the table…” I closed my eyes and felt immediately uplifted, it was like my body weighted less and my soul just took over. I felt, if there was a heaven, it would feel like that.
Those were one of the best times of my life, I really enjoyed being on campus and listening to music, sitting on the grass and looking at the sky for a few hours, playing and playing different music on my speakers, I felt a special peace, also a special excitement, a different kind of feeling I don’t remember having again, my campus doesn't exist anymore but I keep it in my heart and remember it fondly.
I hope you can get close to the feeling I get from this song, it can make your night a special one.

When you listen to music like this one you also remember what it is to be connected to nature, you remember part of the sound of nature in that organic sound, the wood just resonating to the sound of strings being touched, you remember the essential and feel ready to transport yourself again to the best parts of life.
