Why does music sound so much better when you're high?

Because you're high
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;

That look on your wife's face when she notices the blond sitting next to you on the plane...

I'm going to say:
1. because your sense of time is a lot less rigid and the ability of music to move time and control emotion with tempo is amplified
2. the same mechanism that can turn into paranoia makes you hyper aware of noises and tone that you aren't normally paying attention to.

I'm sure there is more to it as well

You also become a lot more sensitive to visuals I suppose. I could watch a video that I had seen before while sober and notice things that seem so obvious when high.

I need a good book to read...any good recommendations? Pretty much open to anything--autobiographies, memoirs, books on leadership, etc they'll all suffice.

Nah, that's just my first name. Whenever someone asks about books I tell them about that one.

I forgot that you were a professional in the area. I probably come up with some stuff to ask.
