In 2011, I moved far away from all of my close friends and family and did not have the time or ability to consistently and conveniently communicate with them. I was hundreds of miles away from people who truly understood me.
A month ago, I did it again. Granted, the circumstances are a bit different, but both situations left me lacking interactions with humans that truly understood me.
I only bring this up because I've noticed a similarity between both of the situations - an enhanced love, reliance on, and comfort found in music. Music became more of a comfort and support for me than it had ever been before.
Every day, the new songs I hear and sing are like new friends that truly "get me." I can't seem to describe this sensation because I don't usually experience music like this. But I can only imagine it is like having one sense taken away and another enhanced in order to help you survive.

But, when comes the thaw,
The first sun is mine
The first kiss of April is mine.
The first sun is mine.
