You know when you watch a musician preform and there's that moment when they close their eyes? 

A shift comes over their face and you just know that they have given themselves over to the music, that they are not simply singing, they are feeling the music in their core, in their very bones.  I wonder sometimes if they have gone beyond their body, if perhaps they are connecting with their muse and they have completely forgotten that there is an audience watching them.  Those are the musicians that create true music, the ones that create art because they have to, not because they want fame or fortune.  Music is who they are.  When I am witness to moments such as that there is a feeling these artists project that draws me in, when they lose themselves I lose myself as well.  There are two songs that come off the top of my head but there are numerous artists that have this effect on me.  Paolo Nutini does a live cover version of the song, "I'd Rather Go Blind" made famous by Etta James.  I can only imagine what it would be like to see him preform this song live because watching it on youtube is spectacular, he puts everything in to the song and for me the results are something else.  The second song, "Sailing to Philadelphia" by Mark Knopfler with James Taylor.  Every time I hear it, it soothes me, carries me away somewhere where I feel weightless.  Some might find that weird but if that's the case you simply haven't found the right song for you or you just haven't truly listened!
