Playlists.

The Song Remembers When. Great one by Trisha Yearwood. And although the song is talking about love, and remember the moment when they were happy, and wondering where all that has gone - the premise is just how quickly a song can evoke a memory, or a time, or even a feeling.

We all have them, playlists. Playlists for dancing moods, playlists for depression, titles for when we are wanting to remember - both good times and bad.

But what happens when you are in one mood, and that song comes on? You know the one.. the one that always changes your entire view on life, even if it is just for that 2-3 minutes the song is playing. One of those just came on for me. Flyleaf - So I Thought. And really, this song doesn't take me 'back' anywhere, it just evokes that feeling of ... longing? Sadness for things uncontrollable.

On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume
Myself in this
I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods
You learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies
About the times

Playlists.
