#fellow feeling

The first time I listened to fellow feeling, it physically hurt me. I felt it in my teeth and in my chest. Now, I can listen to that part without flinching. In a strange way, I kind of miss that first listen, the "holy shit what is this" followed by "woah, music can do THAT?" It's interesting commentary on how we get used to pain, to the point where what was once almost unbearable can become familiar and almost comforting.
