that stretch of highway

A real good way to enjoy music would be during a cool night, driving on a highway. With the windows down and the volume up, it would also be the time when you wish the ride had a retractable hood.

Bon jovi never sounded better when you're singing with the music, with the wind rushing in your face. For that moment, you hope that the kilometres of tarmac just wouldn't run out.

Perhaps that's a great way of getting into the song.

Today I heard a really beautiful and familiar piano piece. And it made me wonder how a melody with no words could invoke such forms of emotion and nostalgia. Maybe because this sort of music is supposed to make you feel dreamy. And when you're dreamy, you think of nice things. Oh well.

Finally got my road mix up. Compiled a list of songs I deemed fit for driving along to and burned it into a disc. On this island, we tend to run out of ground really easily. Music on the move needs to be picked wisely.
