Does anyone find it amazing how you can not listen to a song in a long time and when you listen to it, that it reminds you a specific time in your life?
I was just listening to “Pretty Face” by Morphine. It’s an unusual song, and I’m not sure why I like it. I started listening to it because they also sing a song called “You Look Like Rain”, was featured on Kindred the Embraced.
Anyhow this song reminds me of a time of uni. My last few semesters actually. It makes me think about the tension and stress of end of semester approaching and that that I hadn’t done any tax study and I was just winging my way along. It also reminds me of cool afternoons, where I would sit waiting to see friends at uni and enjoying the time away from work. It make me think about owing cafes or comic shops and doing complete opposite things to what I am doing.
I can recall smells and other feelings, but words don’t seem enough to put them in perspective. It’s like trying to say that it’s reminds me of dark and dingy place, that is not dark at all and it’s filled with lots of excitement. Yet it fills me with dread as my friends leave or more like I have to leave to go home.
It gets to a point where I want this freedom, which it reminds me off…but at the same time I don’t want it at all. Why does this song confuse and taunt me so?
I don’t know if this makes any sense. However it was better off my chest then having it swirl around my head all night before I go to bed.
I can understand a lot, how it makes me think of Vampire the Masquerade, as I started listening to this album at the same time I started to read a lot of fic in this fandom.
