music

I was just listening to "Me and Mrs Jones" 1972, It was good the first time I listened to it but by the third time I was filled with memories and emotions of my first love. I was young and he was 10 yrs my senior. I thought we could be friends with benefits. I didn't realize that you don't choose who you fall in love with. It was such a strong love. And when it ended I was profoundly depressed. I contemplated my own death. And it was luck or divine intervention that it didn't happen. I saw him about a year ago and the feelings came rushing back. Tempered a bit but still surprising. It felt like yesterday. It's been 40 years. And the music carries me back as though time stood still.

Me, too...

I find music very triggering.... especially music from childhood. It is a bit like a time warp. I don't often listen to music especially not the radio because I have no control over what will play.

the song sailing by rod steuart reminds me of a close friend's funeral

the last song played at the service

she loved it

it's the same for bob marley songs.

my mother loved him, and his songs remind me of her, so I tend not to listen to them
