Who Are You Looking At
I like to pick a song and put it on repeat
Immerse myself in it
I'm not sure there's anything to learn from this exploration
My recent micro obsessions have been
All or Nothing by Small Faces
Don't let me be misunderstood by The Animals
Into My Arms by Nick Cave
Currently it's Will You by Hazel O'Connor
The dog really liked my rendition of Into My Arms
I don't like being asked why I'm listening to a certain song
There's nothing to explain, I just am
Perhaps there's an intensity of focus
Absorbing it in totality
It's funny to think about what something says about you but shut down anyone asking... Maybe my attitude needs a rethink.
As a Mancunian the "you alright?" question needed a small pause so I didn't respond with "what do you mean?" Wonder if they are starting something and follow up with "Take a look at yourself first"
Perhaps a little of that lingers
