Wandering inside, and outside...

I have recently made a new friend.
It's amazing what music can do for you. Apart from being the breathtaking, beautiful, intensely powerful thing that is, you can always count on it to help you make new friends. And that's how I became friends with him. Just through music :)
He's a really amazing guy, I think. He just has this way about him. He's always intensely cheerful and he has a knack for coming up with amazingly creative ways to express himself. And even if he isn't cheerful or happy, he'll never complain or moan about life's ways and manages to be cheerful anyway. Or at least I think so.
He also reminds me of myself. Though I never expected it, in him of all people. Not in a bad way. I've always recognised myself as a fairly introvert, socially awkward, reserved person. And, well, boring. He definitely isn't. He always expresses himself openly, and he has his own, very firm, extremely likable personality.
And not only that, not even the music, but he also shares a love for reading and writing and English in general.

I love meeting people like him :) They make me feel like I belong to this world.
Today, I was talking to him about this amazing band he introduced me to (Cults, that's the name of the band. Amazing. Must listen) and he went ahead, like the amazing person he is, and described music. It is the closest thing I have ever read or heard or felt that has come to describing music. It almost teared me up.

"Music is such a release, such a solution, such a catharsis, such a catalyst. It's the greatest thing in the world. It's the passion of all human emotion and existence,
of all dilemma, joy, sorrow, confusion, angst, horror, ecstasy, surrealism. It's liberation, it's control, it's self discovery, it's wandering inside and outside..."

Isn't it just beautiful? :)
Just reading it gave me goosebumps.
That's how important music it is. That's the awe-striking intensity of its beauty. And he put it into beautiful words :)
He also wrote something else, later, something that really touched me inside. It describes exactly how I feel sometimes. It would take me a few sentence to describe the feeling, and he managed to do it in just a few, beautiful words.

"My heart feels like a driftwood floating on deserted emotions."

That's my new friend for you :) His name is Joey.
Yes, he is as awesome as the Joey from Friends. Really.

Here's a little something that made my night, apart from the conversation. Hope it makes yours too :)
