Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

Its pretty awesome. Magical even, how a song with the simplest progression, a smooth even tempo accentuated by the steady pulsating of the bass rhythm, a sort of sweet melancholy derived from the melody, the haunting tones of the guitar giving a peaceful serene overview of the song. Coupled with the simplest of words, holding the deepest meanings, painting the a most stunning picture of black and white where the two shades merge and the product is mostly grey.
Its this simplicity which I was put on this Earth to enjoy and savour. With the simplest of melodies, the most common of words, the unending chapters of my mind seem to just flow out in the deathless prose.
Its this greatest gift which God above bestowed upon us mere humans, which allows me to put into a creative charge, all the emotions and thoughts which I feel, encapsulated by a stunning package of a timeless song, delivered in a scintilating fashion that just makes tears flow down my cheeks.
Its both my disease and my cure, it just leaves me begging for more each time I allow the music seep into my soul and take over me, rendering at the mercy of such lovely words and emotions.
Yeah, we'd shine like stars in the summer night

Irish people really have an impact on my life it seems. Yeah, you too (pun intended, haha). :)
