Thought: Music, The Ultimate Time-Stretcher

So here's something interesting. I've discovered I can slow down time with music. Not really, of course, but the minutes do seem a lot longer when I'm listening to stuff.

Song: Desert Heartbeat/Zakir Hussain

Does it happen to you? You're listening to your favourite song, and when it ends, you can't remember what life was like before you hit the 'play' button.

I, myself, often feel like a changed person altogether. Like I've undergone some sort of cleansing ritual. I can't remember what my mental state was before the song started playing. It's fantastic.

Song: A Time For Us/Nicolas Jaar

If you haven't experienced the feeling, you really should try it sometime. You could even be in the middle of work. Just fish out your iPod or whatever, select your favorite track and start listening. Once the song ends, it'll be like a new day again, I promise.
