Do you ever hear that song that reminds you of so much of a past time that you just sit back and smile? That nostalgia that you feel when you hear the song just makes you want to call someone, or share the song with anyone that will listen. Or how about a song that you feel you are in complete harmony with as if it speaks the words with a rhythm and beat and pattern that you connect to with your whole being? You know those songs?
Do you have songs for people? A song that no matter where you are or when you hear it you instinctively think of that person that it relates to? Sometimes this is enlightening, sometimes saddening, sometimes makes you smile, but mostly it helps you to remember that part of you that was, or is, filled by that person. An old best friend, a past lover, a current lover, a family member that has passed on, a child; these songs help you remember the importance these people had or have on your life. Or sometimes it relates to a specific moment in your life - something impactful, a memory and a song, almost like a movie.
It is like a wedding song. You spend all this time thinking of what song would represent you or mean the most to you. A song that will be timeless. A song that you will look back upon and smile no matter where you are or what you are doing (provided you are still married :-p). I sit here in Starbucks. Listening to the people in here and watching. There are two couples meeting what looks like their wedding coordinator. I wonder what their wedding songs are. (By the by - weddings are a lot of work! Dio Mio! Kudos to those of you who have already done one!) As I sit here I listen to my IPOD and I think about what these songs mean to me and who they remind me of.
