About Me

Music is inspirational, haunting, life-changing. I could not live without music. It gives me many ideas. The time has come to share them.

Sweetest infection of body and mind

I seem to return to Depeche Mode about every other post, don't I? This is why I love them so much. Their songs all touch me in different ways, and are very thought provoking. This song was written when the guys were all high and is actually talking about drugs. I choose to think of it in a different way, though. It is called Sweetest Perfection.

When a person falls in love, it can have a powerful effect on them. It can change their life, down to the way they think. It consumes them whole and, when it is a good love, raises them up to be better than they ever could have before.

Sadly, when it is a bad love the person who is caught up in the emotions can't see what it's doing. They feel happy and think things are great, but those around them can see their world falling apart and making unneeded and unhealthy sacrifices for a poisonous aspect in their life. I almost did this seven years ago and am so thankful I realized what was going on before I married a woman who would've made me miserable.

I have also experienced the good side of things. A woman who accepted me for who I was and wanted to raise me up. Unfortunately, this did not last. Their were complications and it fell apart. I miss it desperately, and hope I can one day find it again without the complications.
