The touch of music...

To be done with exams, good or bad feels nice.. whew! MS is not a piece of cake...... instead is a collection of cakes u can't finish at once... he he... feels so good to remember the worst of PJs I would crack.. I feel good that I haven't lost the 'touch of PJ'. Now for the touch of music.. I could nt find a better title.. suggestions welcome..

My association with songs go back to my childhood..Grew up in a family full of musicians, singers, lyricists, composers, teachers, etc.. I like the songs, the melody and never hesitate to hum a song which I like. My granny's 'Sampradaya HadugaLu' (Traditional Songs) do impress me and I sing them as well.. But my main interest are the songs of Bollywood old and new, no bias...
Right from beginning I have observed that some songs have a 'different' effect on my brain or is it heart?.. I dont know.. But the fact is I feel somewhat 'attached' to the emotions in the song, or I feel 'touched' by the song.. or I feel 'impressed' by the song...or sometimes seems like I am being 'hysterical'. It is that I get a weird feeling in my heart and I feel like I myself am involved in the song and am singing it from my heart.... The emotions in the song are 'felt' by me at that moment.. Some examples are 'Bin Tere Sanam (Remix)', Pehla Nasha, Main Koi Aisa (Yes Boss), 'Do Lafzon Ki hai ','Yeh Kahan aa gaye hum', 'Aye mere humsafar (QSQT)', etc etc etc etc...

I dont know if it is coz of the past, or is it something to do with the song itself.. Could be the music, tone... I know that the brain is emitting waves and the tone of the song might 'resonate' with it and cause the weird feeling... Or is it the 'melody' of the song and since I have a taste for music, feel impressed by the tune.... Or it could be the lyrics which I understand and relate to myself.... or could it be the singer's involvement in the song? I mean the singer has involved himself so much in the song, that his true emotions are being expressed in the song.. some songs I do feel that has happened.. I dont know.. but I feel really good to hear these songs, and the same time feel somewhat sad and get a cold feeling in my stomach.. These feelings just make me go back again and again and listen to them....

What is it that draws me to these songs? I dont know for sure.. I dont even know if someone else also feels the same way.. so touched, so attached to the song..I may not have expressed it right... but I dont know how to express it.. Oh yes! I get one more word - 'nostalgic' .. Let me know if any of u feel the same way or have felt that way..or is it just me?
