That makes sense.  I was never much of a reader but it feels like it could be the same.  Perhaps that is what art is all about.

It helped me feel like I was not the only one feeling things so intensely.

I love this, and I get this out of literature. Also I once wrote a book of poems called "The Intensity of Life" and it was very emotional, you bet. I'm listening to an album right now that I first heard when I was younger, a real sad one, "Birthdays" by Keaton Henson.
