I love music! I think it is the singular, most influential mood modulator there is, for me. Take track 44 for example- on my "TN appreciation" list. "Down to Earth," by Peter Gabriel. I'm a big fan of his. I think he's a great lyricist and his melodies are always unique with a variety of instruments, sounds, chord structures, etc. Anyway, give track 44 a listen and see how it makes you feel. Here's the lyrics too, just for fun. (Sting and Coldplay are also longtime favorites... Coldplay's most recent album- Viva la Vida- is a much better representation of this uniqueness I crave than their earlier stuff).

Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well come on down

All these rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So come on down
Come on down

(chorus) We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
To hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Did you think you'd escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
you're always afraid of the change

You've got a lot on your chest
Well you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down

(repeat chorus)

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
We learned to climb up a tree
then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland
and set sail for the sky

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down
Comin' down to earth
Like babies at birth
Comin' down to earth

Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

(repeat chorus)
