The Pounding in Our Heads



i love all kinds of music. i couldn't live without indie's lyrics, or hip hop's beats. i enjoy mozart's piano above hoffman and chopin's on any day and the fun sounds of top 40 are a guilty pleasure. however, there is something about house music that makes it stand out. house, techno, electro, dubstep... whatever you want to call it, it's different. there's that pulsating beat of a good house song. one that doesnt just sit in the air like a scent from a candle, but entrenches itself within your body. it seeps through your skin and penetrates into your bloodstream. soon, your heart is beating at at the same pace as the song. ever rising and lowering, coordinated like rollar coaster car, mimicking the track.

then it hits, it drops, it comes together; and if you look around the club at the right moment, if you are able to look around the club, you can see it. you can see it in the eyes of the boy next you, the girl on stage and especially in the eyes of the resident dj at his set up. they all have felt it too. they have felt the beat and the pulse that you have, connecting you in a way we rarely see in an open crowd.

so while house music may at times lack the lyrics, or the soothing sounds of other genres, i have found that only house music can bring people together in this mythic way.

some suggestions for the next time you want to connect and some keep up with the growing gypsy trend....
