Obsession as Inspiration

I am able to have some obsession.  There are a lot of song that fall in this category like those few ones:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6f593X6rv8, Love is a Stranger or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzFnYcIqj6I Here Comes The Rain but any Eurythmics' songs can grow into a obsession.

I wonder why having obsession with some songs can develop.  I am not a person that goes head over heel over an artist.  In the case of song, I guess they are powerful and intemporal songs,  Those songs are classics and have something deep in them.  I can listen to them again and again, without tiring.

I feel like under a spell or a trance.  There is inspiration floating around.  With many of those songs, I have images and ideas for stories.  They seems conductive of story making.  It put me in the same state than in the shower.  Maybe those songs are a focus my mind need to get the inspiration flowing.  Well, it could be a different source for channeling ideas.  I didn't realize it before even if I used songs to do it.

I don't know why those particuliar songs get me so obsessive about them.  Do they have a primitive conpoment that mkes me react on a unconscious level?  There is something that seems powerful in these song, a trigger of some kind that touch me.  I don't like the idea of a trigger but those songs have the right elements for me.  Well, there is a bit more thinking to do about it, I think.  I will have to go deeper into it for sure.  Maybe experimenting with it a bit more, of course!  I see a interesting goldmine and I am sure to explore it more deeper.
