Sound and feeling

You know, I was thinking the other day about emotions and how they relate to sounds. Kind of like image association, but aural and in reverse. Anyway, the one feeling that I thought had the clearest sound was loneliness. If loneliness were a sound, it would be a cavernous echo, that has been repeated so many times that you can't even tell what the original noise was. I honestly think that loneliness is one of the most powerful emotions; it's kind of consuming and has physical symptoms. That's why it's an echo - that sound perfectly mirrors the gnawing emptiness inside that is loneliness. Something to think about.
