It was so long ago
do you remember
in the nest of sweet lives
we shall meet again

The sound triggers image
the image triggers homage
the way it was
loved

In the distance of perspective
where we were becomes small
the small becomes faint
the faint becomes memory

dying
with our last
moments

I know I'm late to respond, but I liked reading this!

The song listed in "current music" has a strong nostalgic feel to me-- as in that I feel I will look back upon it in the future and think back to now. I don't have the version of it I really like, just a substandard remix. The funny thing is that it is entirely emotional for me in terms of sound (specifically this rushing, slow-attack sound and how it plays against the beat)-- the lyrics are either unmemorable or stupid.

But past this, I was getting at the notion of how we remember things, how time can affect and degrade something once so emotionally profound, because emotions really are only chemicals and memories bits of stored data. And finally, how when we die, so do our memories.

I don't remember exactly how the third and fourth lines of the first stanza fit in. Perhaps as a foreshadowing that after the body (and memory) dies, we won't need memories, because we'll be in Heaven. Or something.
