sharing music and playlists and albums and different artists you enjoy is probably one of the most intimate, personal things anyone could ever do for me.
or for me to do for them.
music for me is a lot more than just words with a beat that you rock your head to in the car.
music is sooooo much more.
like, for example, music is a safe space. music doesn't allow me to think much about anything else and i love that. because then i can take a breather and forget about my anxiety and PTSD and just be calm and that is everything to me.
knowing someone else's music preferences gives me a view inside that persons head.
because, let's think about it. let's say that i know you personally and we talk on a day to day basis.
even though we are good friends i will never know what goes on inside your head, not unless you say them out loud. and even then you could be lying.
(lol billie eilish said this in an interview once)
but i'll neverrrr knowwwww.
but music is so raw and touching and soothing and real that i may have insight into what's going on in that head of yours.
and that may scare you...sometimes it scares me.
and that's what music is so sacred to me.
it's an escape.
