A dream realized by song

So last night I had this crazy experience.  Have you ever had a song that just strikes you to the core and dredges up stuff that you never knew existed in your mind, but must have been there somewhere because of an old dream.  I was at a concert with my roommate and I had this story start to unfold to the music as I closed my eyes.  There was a girl standing in the center of a lane in a large park, think Central Park.  All around her were trees covered in snow, and swirling around her were pastels and white.  Beautiful, peaceful images.  Then she knew that something was missing.  A pathway opened up and she went running to find what she was looking for.  She came upon people standing with their backs to her.  She frantically tapped them on the shoulder, and as they turned around she knew they were not who she was looking  for.  And as the song ended she tapped the last person on the shoulder and they turned around.

I don't know why I saw this but it was kind of cool.  I don't usually have these sort of creative juices flowing.  It kind of made me want to paint.
