CDs

I still love buying CDs. It seems outdated, but there is something romantic, in both senses of the word, in having an actual CD. You have to listen to it over and over to really get to know it, and once you do, you can hear the next song before it even starts playing. Just like you can hear the words out of someone's mouth before they say it when you know them so well. And some find it annoying to hear the same songs in the same order. I find it intimate. And soon you start to uncover something you wouldn't just from listening to the individual songs. You uncover the unspoken story behind the songs. Why those songs were put together, why that album was given that title. It becomes a whole that most people don't see, because they haven't spent the time listening to every song over and over. It's kind of like love.
