A journey rich with music

Today I DANCED.

I put on this song, cranked it up, and I just let loose. Completely. Hair flying, hips shaking, who-gives-a-fuck-who's-watching, absolute lunacy.

I wasn't trying to exorcise pain or depression. I thought that's what I was feeling, but it's not either of those things.

I'm trying to rid myself of apathy. Emptiness. Holding pattern blahhh.

I feel like -- if I just keep doing this, keep singing and dancing about, taking in the music, and remember to hold onto what it does for me --

I might, just might, be able to get my joy back.

Then the sky opens up and everything feels possible.

:D

There's really nothing like music.

That's right! I just read your recent post about your new obsession with Bollywood. I hear that's some good fun music. :)

What on earth is your Mulder/Krycek fanmix? I must know!

:D

Me? Something funky -- like Brickhouse or Slippery When Wet by the Commodores -- or something uptempo big band jazzy, like Sing Sing Sing from Swing Kids. Something that really gets me moving and lifts up my mood. Whee!

Hindi film songs are SUPER for bouncing around the house to.

Haha, I have a whole folder full of songs that remind me of M/K. Some of them are recs from other people, some are music from the series, and some are ones that just remind me of them. I listen to it for fic inspiration. PRETTY EMBARASSING but I am shameless :)

Your songs sound really nice and dancey, too!

I highly recommend those songs.

You'll have to tell me what some of those inspiring M/K songs are. I'm curious!

:D
