What rushes into my heart and my skull, forever
I normally listen to music when I'm working, as it helps me block out the sound of other people and focus. The music needs to be unobtrusive enough that it doesn't distract me, so anything with particularly intricate, clever, or even sense-making lyrics is right out. It also needs to evoke a feeling of energy and productivity in me. Generally what this means is dance music of some flavour. I tend to fixate on particular albums or DJ sets and play them to death before moving on to something else.
For the past three days I have been listening to the same live DJ set by Tiësto, a four-hour-long concert he did in Copenhagen in 2008 (I actually caught an abbreviated version of this concert back in 2010, when I went to a day festival in Victoria Park in London with my then boyfriend. The relationship crashed and burned, but I still remember that concert very fondly, and it's probably up there as one of my very favourite concerts ever).
This DJ set reminded me how much I love the two songs Tiësto did with Tegan and Sara around this time, and I've had the pair of them pretty much on repeat since Friday night.
(Honestly, the moment between 5.03-5.07 on this video is something like a religious euphoric experience to me. Music, for me, is an extraordinarily intense thing — it sings to me, and the soul sings back, a waterfall of inarticulate emotions overflowing.)
I always feel guilty admitting this, but I much prefer Tegan and Sara songs when remixed by Tiësto.
