There's a time to hold on and there's a time to let go. The problem is, we often fail to see which is which. We often try to hold on when it's time to let go and let go when we should actually hold on. No one ever said life is fair.
I personally believe every song has a memory associated with it. My entire playlist has tid bits of memories associated with it. "Coming Home" by Diddy- Dirty Money (that's a hilarious name btw) is my song for the first summer I went home. "Secrets" and "All the right moves" are associated with my freshmen year first semester. "Requiem for a tower" was now writing a long paper song in my sophomore second semester. I have semester specific, task specific songs.
Often I suggest songs I listen to, to a friend and get suggestions back. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. It usually takes me a few times of repeatedly listening to the song to form an opinion about it. Sometimes I fall in love with it on the first try.
Almost two years ago, a friend sent me the song "Teardrop" by Massive Attack. I took me a while to listen to the song. The fact that it wouldn't buffer on YouTube in India was probably one of the main reasons. The song is popular for being the theme song for the tv series House. Sometimes the song doesn't make sense then, but it does a little later. Sometimes it makes sense two years later. Here I am, watching House and the song comes on and it hits me. There's always a memory behind a song. There's always a reason you fall in love with a song. Nah it doesn't have to be all deep meaning and shit. Sometimes it's just the right time when the song makes sense.
House and his sarcasm. I now have an idea of the level of sarcasm I need to achieve. Believe it or not, that is actually one of my life goals apart from earning so much money that I can buy myself a walk in wardrobe filled with clothes, without feeling guilty about it. Yea I am kind of shallow that way. Add to that publishing a book someday and I have three life goals. Not bad for someone who hasn't even graduated yet. Pretty proud of myself right now!
Of course I have other songs for specific times and places and people. But if I began right now, I'd never be able to end. Considering I have an important day ahead of me tomorrow, trying to run an entire ceremony between 3 people is not an easy task, I should maybe get some sleep and watch some more House.
