[Doc Faustus]

When the song comes on it's almost reptilian for you. There is no thinking involved, merely a sudden need to just curl up and be that one thing you are together. When my girlfriend and I were just friends, I lent her my favorite album, Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan. As we sat and talked in her room, and the song Simple Twist of Fate came on, we locked eyes for several seconds and she didn't understand why. The more we listened to the album, the more frequently it happened. After getting together, we listened to the album again and when Simple Twist of Fate came on, we just couldn't resist curling up together and disappeared into the words , in spite of the song's tragic ending. Over time, the same thing happened with Nick Cave's Straight to You, but the experience with Simple Twist of Fate was electric and irresistible. That's in my opinion, how you know a song is yours.
