just music, sweet music

why is music so addicting ( for lack of a better word ). why does it fill me with this energy? what is so special about those simple notes and complex melodies? today i have been listing to different songs i have bought and found over the years. i can remember each word and every inflection that is sung yet i have a tough time remembering what i had to eat that morning. so what is it about these sounds that makes them so potent? is it that i have very little musical ability so i live through others? could it be that i just have nothing better to remember so i just fill my brain up with this stuff? i don't think it is either of these but maybe. i don't know what it is but i want to hope that it is something deeper. something almost magical. something that is infused into the grain of every living and non living thing. i know this is more questions than answers but sometimes we don't have all the answers. i know i don't have all the answers and i don't really want them either. a little mystery is always good. enough babbling from me...i have some more music to sing along to ( poor coworkers )
