When music meets two Strangers || My Personal Experience
*โ€œPeople are guests in our story, the same way we are guests in theirs. But we all meet each other for a reason because every person is a personal lesson waiting to be told.โ€โ€• lauren klarfeld
You barely know who or where you can meet new people everyday, I guess some vibe or energy are meant to be shared together naturally.*

This is my story for today. So, after immersing myself for a long time within my house. I decided to go see a friend in town; it was a long distance, but I did not mind; all I needed was to see the light of day, so I got out of my house; my neighbors were stunned to see me leave.


It seemed practically impossible for anyone to see me leave my house,while my neighbors were delighted to see me leave the house, the sun was less enthusiastic as my skin could feel the impact of the sun, which felt like the gates of hell had been opened.

![IMG-20220615-WA0000.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gone-hive/23wMYTZju9G1drUPqzuFQvyNKbcGFh2R92ZxzfR8bqsuVo6FcvAdgpmrmtr3uLqQ4bpKh.jpg)

I had already stated that I was on my way to my friend's place, else I would have promptly returned home. After walking out of my close, I arrived to the intersection.
I noticed a cab that was loading, so I got in and waited for it to fill up. I was so engrossed in my phone that I did not even notice who came in,when the cab was finally full, the driver started the trip.

It was a long journey from where I was staying, and the most important guideline to remember while stepping outside with your phone is to always have your earpiece with you. It would keep you from having to deal with unwanted drama, gist, or conflict.It is like escaping into outer space.
![3DLAmCsuTe3ba2VJAE1ZhN2oVhekeqoshg9DUnSyUd2Cnt4YtUMpZp3shLAFC6crgtFzAC6QZ9uGD9svFuFKttQ86gAChnWVQr28niMhaSyY9b1ZC14fM46uhFAUhZSsAhQJjdE6jutrEZaeHZduFFn98x8KUFG.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gone-hive/23vsG4QBiQLFTLKaG4Gohg9NqeDz9cp18BVMkdzK4h9VPMFsEbPKiuDZYxbTs4Wbm438Y.png)

So I got out my earpiece and instantly went to Boomplay to check out some fantastic tracks to listen to.I felt it was only nice to start with something incredibly quiet and soothing given how hot the weather was. I started looking for it right away and my mind went to  Oblivion by Sia feat. Labrinth

https://youtu.be/xx_Z0ZV4VJw

Yes, please!!!
I would love to be in a state of oblivion, completely unaware of my surroundings for a period of time, at least in the actual world.Today's departure from the house felt extremely different to me; it felt as if I had been cut off from the rest of the world. Instead of being locked in a room, I could finally see people, experience traffic, and simply have a sense of my surroundings.

Going out to see my friend made me feel as if I had someone knocking me out all the time. It's a great feeling, but a balance would be ideal. Inside the taxi, it felt better to glance around as the vehicle moved, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.


I guess I did not realize how much I missed being outside in comparison to the hours I spend indoors. I needed someone to drag me out of my comfort zone; I probably need many individuals to knock me out or, better yet, find a purpose to distract me from the feeling.

![3DLAmCsuTe3ba2VJAE1ZhN2oVhekeqoshg9DUnSyUd2Cnt4YtUMpZp3shLAFC6crgtFzAC6QZ9uGD9svFuFKttQ86gAChnWVQr28niMhaSyY9b1ZC14fM46uhFAUhZSsAhQJjdE6jutrEZaeHZduFFn98x8KUFG.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gone-hive/23vsG4QBiQLFTLKaG4Gohg9NqeDz9cp18BVMkdzK4h9VPMFsEbPKiuDZYxbTs4Wbm438Y.png)

Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, bowing my head and appreciating the horsepower engine of Sia's voice.I realized someone had tapped me on the shoulder, so I turned to the passenger next to me and turned down the volume on my phone. he had a really keen smile probably because  of how much I scowled my face when I looked at him.

"Do you mind if I share your earpiece with you?" he said quietly, which was unusual and unexpected.I responded yes, but was perplexed as to what tune he would enjoy; almost  immediately after he plugged in the earphone, he recognised it was "Sia and Labrinth," to which I replied, "Yeah... probably I was wrong about him, he might appreciate good music."

As a result, I chose to play Kygo ft Whitney Houston.

https://youtu.be/JR49dyo-y0E

All I wanted was something groovy with a hint of a wonderful voice.We were both nodding our heads in time to the beat of Higher Love. We recognized Whitney's voice, it seemed like the ideal song for two strangers brought together by an earpiece.
It was the perfect song to kick off the streaming, and it made us grin as we discussed Kygo's brilliance in combining Whitney Houston into a beautiful song like this. I suppose we needed that higher love in the first place.

![3DLAmCsuTe3ba2VJAE1ZhN2oVhekeqoshg9DUnSyUd2Cnt4YtUMpZp3shLAFC6crgtFzAC6QZ9uGD9svFuFKttQ86gAChnWVQr28niMhaSyY9b1ZC14fM46uhFAUhZSsAhQJjdE6jutrEZaeHZduFFn98x8KUFG.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gone-hive/23vsG4QBiQLFTLKaG4Gohg9NqeDz9cp18BVMkdzK4h9VPMFsEbPKiuDZYxbTs4Wbm438Y.png)

I asked him to choose the next song so we could play, and he asked whether I liked Dua Lipa, to which I said that I did, and that it was only right to listen to Levitating by Dua Lipa ft Dababy.

https://youtu.be/TUVcZfQe-Kw

This can never get boring when listening to this song. Levitating is a masterpiece by Dua Lipa that talks about spending time with someone or calling someone if you need for company. Higher love by Kygo and Whitney Houston had already introduced to a very great vibe and rhythm, it was only wise not to spoil that vibe.
Yeah, it seems like a love song, but it was great for me, especially since I was leaving home and had someone to share music with in the taxi...we're Levitating!!!!!


![3DLAmCsuTe3ba2VJAE1ZhN2oVhekeqoshg9DUnSyUd2Cnt4YtUMpZp3shLAFC6crgtFzAC6QZ9uGD9svFuFKttQ86gAChnWVQr28niMhaSyY9b1ZC14fM46uhFAUhZSsAhQJjdE6jutrEZaeHZduFFn98x8KUFG.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gone-hive/23vsG4QBiQLFTLKaG4Gohg9NqeDz9cp18BVMkdzK4h9VPMFsEbPKiuDZYxbTs4Wbm438Y.png)

https://youtu.be/8g0v2SDe6MU

Big Flexa by Coasta Titch was the last song we streamed together before he got to his stop. It was one of the beautiful songs from Amapiano, a very deep form of music. It's from South Africa, and believe me when I say that no one hears a southy sound and thinks it's a lullaby.

You must nod your head, move your body a little, and simply let yourself be enveloped by wonderful sounds, strings blended with percussion and powerful beats. We were moved our bodies, although restricted as if we were dancers  

It was a bizarre experience; I honestly had no idea that an earpiece and  playing random shuffle of music could create such a happy moment with someone in a taxi.I suppose it was nature's way of greeting me with wonderful musical moments to make up my day.

Wow! @gone-hive firstly let me thank you for allowing me discover beautiful songs today through you.
I will surely add them to my playlist.

I enjoyed Costa titchs Big flexa more because of my love and attraction for amapiano music.
I also enjoyed the serene nature of Labrinth by Sia, I could almost feel what you must have felt them in the cab with your earpiece on.

Thanks for taking us on this journey into your experience.
I enjoyed it personally!!

I read this to the end and I was hoping to read to when you finally got to see your friend but it ended too shortly I guess.

I've never been in a situation where I have to share an ear phone with a stranger (it would have been weird but I know I would have allowed it too) I'm sure it would be so much fun.

Those songs selection are amazing especially the one by Sia and Whitney ๐Ÿ˜Š I love those two artists a lot.

It was an amazing read, thanks for sharing your musical experience with a stranger.

I actually did not see myself doing it but it wasn't a bad idea..I guess he needed to listen to music too...
Oh yeah..I was more interested about the story in the taxi...

Sia is absolutely great and I am sure we do not need to talk about Whitney...

I bet it was, but just in the beginning. After sharing some musical vibes, with a stranger, through the earplugs, one can build some connections - musical connection :))

Of course you always have an interesting choice of songs lol. 
Iโ€™m embarrassed to say itโ€™s only Levitating by Dua lipa and Dababy I know, never heard of the others. I hope my title โ€œwoman of cultureโ€ hasnโ€™t been striped! 

Are we also going to ignore the fact that you shared your earphones with a complete stranger? ๐Ÿ˜‚ 
Glad he didnโ€™t kidnap you though lol, how was your friend?
