have you ever?

Ever heard a tune and somehow you’re immediately transported back to that particular time in your life which was unpleasant? You’re sitting there thinking okay let’s just focus on the good, despite whatever happened, but the song goes on and on. More things come to mind. The moment which concerns the song; the conversation surrounding the song and the list goes on. Hey you’re only human. When you notice this unhealthy thing your head is doing, you feel thrown, because for sanity’s sake you shouldn’t be thinking about all that. You shouldn’t be prompted to pay a visit down bad memory lane – unless you choose to. You then proceed to give conscious instructions to your brains to not get carried away with your memories lest it will just rip you apart. Turn to putty.

Ever been moved by a song and the lyrics reflect your actual sentiment on an issue? When your friend tells you that a certain song is dedicated to you and thanks you for the friendship. When you reflect on what you’ve gone through and think “oh, so situations like that happen to other people too..”. When someone tells you a song is about exactly how he feels for you.

Ever listened to a melody so pleasing to the ear it makes you smile and lifts your mood? You find yourself reminiscing various moments of merriment. That outing during college; that 80’s song during your childhood; the first time you bump into that special someone; your first day at work; that choir try-outs in primary school; that summer; your first double espresso after walking around like a zombie due to pulling an all-nighter working on your assignment which earned you an ass-saving results; that night out when your friends act hilariously mental channeling Beyonce or Naomi or Adriana Lima (isn’t that every night out guys ;p hahahaa).

Ever seen a live performance and despite the musician being far from hot, you are smitten? Just because he’s first-rate – in your eyes, at least.

I “heart” music :)
