Songs of my life
Sounds like a bad rock song doesn't it? And yet I identify certain songs/albums/artists with certain periods of my life so strongly that listening to them brings back incredibly vivid feelings and memories. Such is the case right now--I'm listening to an album, and one song in particular, that is making me feel exactly how I did when I first listened to it. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing to be honest. I haven't listened to this particular album in a while and I think now I know why--too many mixed feelings, too many things I didn't know then that I know now. It's interesting on an intellectual level, and disconcerting on an emotional one, to listen to it with the perspective I have now. It sounds weird I know--it sounds weird to say it--but it's hard to handle listening to it having the original feelings, and trying to reconcile them with my current knowledge. At the same time I find myself craving this album, so maybe I'm ready to deal with those issues.
This is definitely one of those entries that's me trying to make sense of what's in my head--not that many people will be reading this anyway ;).
