Knocked over by sound waves.

Music has the potential to be a powerful, driving force...common knowledge, sure, but every once in a while there'll be a song--a single sound, even-- that reminds you so. Overwhelmed by the mundanity of the daily routine, you sit down and plug away at your work...and then, there it is. The dissonance of a chord. The gentle fuzz of distortion. A clean snare hit. A biting lyric. Whatever it may be, it's a welcome jolt to the senses. It sets the mind off to wander while the body lags sorely behind. A constant reminder of all of life's possibilities. At its best...

...it takes you exactly where you want to be.
