I'm listening to Tacoma Trailer, an instrumental piece on Leonard Cohen's The Future album. It's a good example of how Cohen's music can touch something deep inside a person (at least me), regardless of the odd or cryptic lyrics that one normally attaches to Cohen's music.
A lot of instrumental music touches me somehow. I heard a piece on NPR a few days ago that may help explain it. But I don't remember exactly what the explanation was. I think it had something to do with the core sounds of music...and how they impact chemical paths in the brain.
I'm more romantic than that. The music simply touches my heart.

As in a trailer in Tacoma? I don't kknow if I've ever heard that particular Cohen song, but I'm wondering what could have inspired that title. Is it a sad tune? Being in a trailer in Tacoma would be a bummer.
My favourite piece of music. It sums up everything I feel without using a single word. I love how the piano almost fumbles for the notes to express itself. ahhh lovely
