As the song floated into your ears, the calm meditative sound began to make you feel more relaxed. More peaceful. It was good to relax into the calming waves of sound that captured your mind. To just let your mind go blank. To let go of all of the stress of the day.
As the music progressed, your body became more and more relaxed. Your mind as more and more open. You could swear there was a voice in amongst all the tones and soft chimes. But you couldn’t make it out. Not that it mattered. Nothing mattered. Just listening.
And so when the next track in the album came on, you kept listening. So open, so free. So nice to listen. So nice to obey. You were nice. You were good. You wanted to listen. You wanted to obey. The voice was still there. Clearer now. But the words were unimportant.
All that mattered was obedience. Was this the third track now? The fourth? You had lost track of yourself. Of time. But now there as arousal. Now there was pleasure, in the music. From accepting this new part of you. Accepting this obedience. You had to keep listening.
Feeling the music’s control wrap around your brain. You didn’t know when the album ended. Or how many times you listened that night. But that was just the first night. There have been many more. And when your friend told you there were stressed; you knew just what to suggest.
