Melting Into Music.

Today I was feeling really alone...like I'm not quite sure where my place is. I did some chi qong to try to center and ground. I meditated to find some stillness. I rebel yelled to get rid of all the anxiety. I breathed through alternate nostrils until I nearly fainted in an attempt to chill.out. Wandering is still heavy in my heart and home feels very far away. After a full day I got home and laid on the couch, and though I'm not really a tv person I just wanted to completely tune out and turn off. I watched the final few episodes of Shameless, which was amazing, but the highlight was the song that played during the finale. It was "Ends of the Earth" by Lord Huron. The music itself fit my solemn sad mood, and the lyrics captured and summed up my heart. So amazing how powerful music can be. Check him out. I've been listening to him on spotify for over an hour now and I want to melt into the music...it's *that* good. 

"There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music." 

― T.S. Eliot

• Ooh, ooh
  
  
  Oh, there's a river that winds on forever
  I'm gonna see where it leads
  Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted
  I'm gonna stand on the peak
  
  
  Out there's a land that time don't command
  Wanna be the first to arrive
  No time for ponderin' why I'm-a wanderin'
  Not while the
  
  
  To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
  There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
  To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
  If you will have a say my goodbyes to me
  
  
  Oh, there's an island where all things are silent
  I'm gonna whistle a tune
  Oh, there's a desert that size can't be measured
  I'm gonna count all the dunes
  
  
  Out there's a a world that calls for me, girl
  Headin' out into the unknown
  Well if there are strangers, and all kinds of danger
  Please don't say I'm going alone
  
  
  To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
  There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
  To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
  Well if you want, I will say my goodbyes to me
  
  
  I was a-ready to die for you, baby
  Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
  What good is livin' a life you've been given
  If all you do is stand in one place
  
  
  I'm on a river that winds on forever
  Follow 'til I get where I'm goin'
  Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try
  I guess I'm goin' alone

LORD HURON - "ends of the earth"
