A Strange Fever
It is strange. A strange madness. Something which I have never experienced before. It is not music. Because music is everyday, ordinary and regular. It is a sick shiver of the brain. It is a fit that I get when I am brushing my teeth, walking to college, having dinner with company or even talking to somebody.
It is an explosion of sound in my being which is unavoidable. Makes me helpless, doesnt let me concentrate. And there have been quite a few of the "songs" which you might know that were involved in this experience. It becomes hard to explain what they were, so hence I shall mention these sounds as songs.(Because just like music, songs are also regular, ordinary and everyday)
The experience is an experience for a reason. For any writing cannot describe it as well. Which is why they form a different league of my favourites. I'd like to call them the "Sick League". Not because they are sick. But because they make me so. Sick with desperation so that they shall soon fall upon my ears. It is a persistent craving. Changing in form though.
A month back it was this song called "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Well sounds/music/songs become more hard to get rid of if appropriate research is done about why these songs were written and what the concept behind the song was when it was performed/written first.
The latest viruses which have caught on to me are "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Riders on the Storm","People are Strange", "Kashmir" and many others. It's a long list. Will be posting the entire list soon. Till then, I am happy with these viruses. I like their monopoly. And I hope they maintain it because there is a dangerous undesirable one on the loose.
Till then,
A musically swayed man.
PS: Shashvat, I really wish there was a time machine. I would do anything to go back to the classic rock times.
