Music and moods

Is it a good thing when a song catches you in the heart? I can never really decide. On the one hand, it's nice to have a strong emotional tie to something. On the other hand, it's nearly impossible not to let it make you stumble.

There's a neutral ground there somewhere. Ha ha.

A poem

"My land is bare of chattering folk;
the clouds are low along the ridges,
and sweet's the air with curly smoke
from all my burning bridges."

- Dorothy Parker
