Late Night Feels x The Art of Music

One of the reasons why I resist staying late at night is it's when I get so much "feels". Feels about my life's current state, future endeavors, my under-construction-love-story, great time with friends and "sana" moments with my family as I listen to songs that hit me bone-deep. I usually listen to the ones with senseful lyrics but with great accompaniment of course.
“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” 
― Aldous HuxleyMusic at Night and Other Essays
Music gives me magic in a form of contemplation. While I plunge into the beauty of each songs, it allows me to  move in a world my imagination has created through melodies.I see future. I get to feel emotions that reality won't allow me. It uncovers my eyes to possibilities.
 “Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” ― Maya Angelou 
The beauty of music is that it explains what's deep down in you. And unconsciously, it's an outlet to what you are feeling. The reason why smiling and crying to a beautiful song gives you the same feeling... The same satisfaction. Music speaks to your soul and moves to your every being. Also the reason why I believe you can learn about a person through the songs he/she is listening to.
 “People haven't always been there for me but music always has.” 
― Taylor Swift
