Listen to a song again after 20 years. When you are 4 or 5 you don't have yet a real concept of time. You don't know that in twenty five years, a song will still be with you.
Dance to it. Like you did before, but better. Like it's the first time and the last. No room for analysis.
Music. It's always with you, it's always there, even when you think you've forgotten it.
Blame technology, despise it, hate it even. But admit it brings you things you thought lost. It brings you things you never thought you'd get to hear. Like an extended version of a song.
The song is like you. A different, more complex version of the original, yet, in essence, the same.
The song IS you. What you felt about it, what you remember, whatever it contains so it stays with you. It's a part of you.
It's still there.
And it's not going to leave you.
