resonance

I have listened to Take Off Your Cool, Outkast w Norah Jones, between 10 and 15 times today. The itunes play count says 17, and i basically just discovered the song a couple hours ago before i then left the house for a few hours, so consciously i have only ever played it tonight, between 7 and 8 pm and then from about 11pm onwards...but i figure some of those counts must be from previous times i was playing another outkast song and just let the itunes roll through the alphabet like-so.

i spose i'll know tomorrow if the song truly is that good--if i listen to it and feel the way i do right now--or if its just resonating with something about today for me. nothing explicit or literal in the lyrics (i know this because 1. i'm not listening to the words since the first time i played the song and 2. it's been making me miss John deeply and specifically, someone whose Cool was taken off for me so long ago), but some other quality of the song is hitting me right now as it plays on repeat. hitting is too abrupt, there is no other way to explain it but that it just...resonates.

like astrologists describe alignment? the gravity that such and such planet etc X Y Z planet force aligned alignment aligns gravitational forces planets at the second we were born making us who we are? i know that isn't a fair representation of zodiac but it's what i think of because some intangible invisible thing is ALIGNing right now between my soul and this song, and it's as inexplicable to me, as without a logic i can follow, as the way it sounds when someone does try to explain zodiac.

its on its ninth rotation since i started typing.

and the earth rotates around and around and around, and everything is in a rotation and in a rotation is everything right?
