I dont know how old you are, but you'll find this more and more as you go down the road... that certain songs will symbolize and crystalize a point in time of your life.. well... if you think of music like that... like when it came out, when it dominated the radio, when it was every other video on MTV... you'll see these in passing, not even like the song... but wait a decade.. and hell.. it's a friggen classic.. You should just look back through billboard.. you'll see songs littering the wayside of your memory, stuck in a car.. singing along to the song you hate.. but in time, it'll dissapate, then you'll relate that point of fate.. Strange that something you once despised could be the song of your favorite mental breakdown about your wasted youth.... Ahhh.. the joy's of music... the heartbreaks it reminds you everytime you sing the words to wish you were here... The angst of childhood that rock the cradle of love and Are you gonna go my way.. and for the newbies, Fly away... Maybe I'm just mentioning these pop icons to signify that moment for you.. What song was playing when you herd about 9-11? I was listening to Don Mclean.. American Pie.. and I thought they were joking about having to turn on the television.... Ahhh.. these moments sometimes hold irony.. Like lisening to Clean by depeche mode going to score some drugs... or Bob Marley when you quit smoking weed 3 years ago...
Music is a key to my mind.. it unlocks thoughts, emotions.. even fears... I love music.. without it I know I would be lost.. with it I get lost.. no matter the cost of time or effort, when I resort to my musical court.. None are guilty in this multitude of memories...
I am currently Awestruck
I am listening to Eyes without a face by B. Idol
