Sorting the thoughts in your head?

Asked by OliverYoung (382points) February 17th, 2011

Hello dear fluther.

So, I’m a young guy (18 years) currently studying and trying to find my place in the world.
At around my age, I guess a lot of people begin having those thoughts. Thoughts about the world. About balance. About importance, love, reason, truth and well, about mostly everything I guess.

I happen to be a fortunate person. I have an easy time talking to people, I learn quickly, I’m decently looking, I think a lot, etc. etc.
What I’m trying to say with that, is, that I haven’t had a bad life. It’s not like I’ve been bathing in money, but I have been fortunate with most things.

As I previously stated, I think a whole lot. This can be both good and bad of course. And right now, I dont know what it is.
I play a lot of music, and immensely enjoy listening to most music too. But, one piece has caught my attention.

I’m sure some of you are familiar with Keith Jarrett. One of his concerts is famously know, The Koln Concert. And while I enjoy that piece, it’s his less famous Vienna Concert that I simply find astounding. I feel like every second I’m listening to it, I understand everything a bit more.
Or well, a better way of putting it is like this:

If my thoughts are pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, listening to this song kinda “sorts” the pieces. I hope that metaphor made sense!

I was wondering if anyone could relate to this? A song, a book, a painting, a movie, something that simply helps sort out the pieces in your head.
