It is so interesting to see what memories are so closely tied with the music that was being played at the same time. There are countless songs in which instantaneous memories are flashed in my mind.
Many times this is completely irritable. Most of these memories are of better times had- what had gone sour? what had gone terribly wrong? what had gone only a little wrong?
But I find myself at a point now in which I am able to remember the good times-the magical times-the unforgettable times-the bad times that went with these songs. What a waste would it be for me to not experience these songs again?
What a waste would it be for me to forget the past?
What a waste it would be for me to move on?
Now, my only regret is that I am listening alone now. No, I am not asking for commitment. No, I am not asking for anyone in particular. I simply find myself thinking, "This is too wonderful for anyone to listen to alone."

i'll listen with ya.
then we get to make out, right?-ZachBurnsI have strong associations with music, like certain times in my life when they came on the radio. But more so with smell. If I walk into a room with a particular smell, I will get vivid flashbacks to very specific places and years, sometimes obscure ones. Disorienting. And sometimes eerie.
