Music


I want a guy who's playlist is similar to mine but with a few extras to enhance what I've got.
I want a guy who when he hears the salsa o merengue come into rotation, he doesn't immediately change it.
But instead he listens to it and appreciates the sound of the congas, horns and güira and the precision of the timing, realizing that to analyze and understand the music is to analyze and understand me.
I want him to be able to plug into my player and feel like he's hearing his.
I want to appreciate the diversity between his list and mine.
I want his music to expose me.
I want it to pull me apart and then put me back together using the melodies, harmonies and tempo as the glue to reinforce.
I want his music to flow through my body as naturally as bossa nova causes me to move and sway my hips.
I want his music in me.
