Lately I've been in a nostalgic rut. Longing for the days of my youth, mind you I am not that old. But whenever I listen to songs that I loved when I was 18-20, I feel...hmmm, I can't really find the words, but there is a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach and somehow I know that things will never be as it was.
Now, music is often credited to be one of the 7 wonders of the world and it makes a lot of sense as it transcends time and space. When you listen to a song, a song that you connect with or just simply adore, you are suddenly bombarded with memories and thus bringing life to your senses. Now each and every time you hear a song you automatically attach it to something, someone, a period in your life, a time and space. I don't know anything else that can trigger memories so deep and true. It probably doesn't exist.
I am only making this post because I am listening to one of those bands that I truly loved when I was 18 and it makes me ache to know that I can no longer be that naive, innocent and passionate person that I once was no matter how hard I try. And perhaps that is a good thing, but don't you wish you could relive the glory days of your youth, if only for a moment?
