Moonlight Serenade There is a not so random connection that exists between music and sensuality. And let you mind, I mean sensuality, not sexuality. The very feeling that is incorporated with each song we hear is not only mental and emotional, but physical as well. I think this is why I enjoy dance so much. Becuase the physical sensation that I connect with and peice of music can be expressed as a pulsation in the body, a movement of the hand, or the tilt of a head.
More than often I can be found breathing in a certain way when a song comes over the speakers. Just the same my fingers move, my stomach churns and I feel the presence of something. This physical sensuality I believe is so primal, so inate that no one can escape it. No matter what type of music gets your motor running, whether it be the hard-core thrashing of rock or the ungulating rythm of salsa, music causes in you a reaction. Maybe it is this reaction that brings about the other more tracable things we connect to music. For instance, jazz makes me feel calm and reminds me of the color red. This calmness could come from not the music, but my bodily reaction to the music. I tend to sway and tap my finger when I turn to 89.1 which ironically is the exact motion I use to calm myself or whenever I feel at complete rest with something. Humm
Another conclusion that brings me to the strand that runs between music and the physical is the raw desire that people often get the cuddle, hug, or kiss when a certain song comes over the radio. Though me and my friends often call these songs "One I'd do it to" I think it goes much deeper than that. Music itself can express the natural beats in our body that we desire to achieve in a complete and intimate moment, whatever that may be. Perhaps thats why song is so highly connected with love...who really knows  ¶ 3:39 PM
