Hans Christian Andersen once said, "Where words fail, music speaks."
In my experience, I've often found that to be true. Music can express what we're feeling and light up our souls in infinitely profound ways.
When we feel absolutely elated and aggressively jubilant, we have songs like "Happy," when we're feeling utterly determined and fierce we have songs like "Roar," and when we have a real hankering to praise the #lawd we have songs like "Take me To Church." But what about for those moods or feelings that are a little more abstract?
For example, you know that feeling when you're going ham on a pogo stick much to the awe of everyone around you? If so, I bet more than once you've thought, "Ugh, will the combination of lyrics and melody ever capture how lit jumping on a pogo stick is?" If so, today's your lucky day because I have just the song for you. Here it is, the aptly named, "Disco Pogo." Skip to 1:25 if you want to get your face melted off through the power of song.
You know that feeling when you're just loving owning property in Central Europe? Well I do, and my anthem for when I'm having those feels is "Budapest."
You know that feeling where you question the value that modern-day capitalism provides to society and wonder about your place in the universe? Try listening to anything by the uber metaphysical band, Butthole Surfers.
You know that feeling when you miss harmabe so much that the longing you feel to be reunited once again with the almighty gorilla nearly makes you spontaneously combust? Me too. #dicksoutforharambe
You know that feeling when you just have to embrace your repressed sexuality and get weird? Try jamming out to this Gunther masterpiece.
Whelp, that's all. I hope this helps you set your spirit free and send out rays of love to the universe as you become enveloped in the majesty of relatable music.
As a parting gift, I shall leave you with this song, which deserves to be heard all over the world.
