Soundtrack of Our Lives

Today I would like to talk about life and music. Two things that coexist. Think about this; have you ever been driving down a long road, no destination, just driving. And you had a cd playing, regardless of the genre or style, whether it be calm, heavy, slow, fast, just whatever. And the song playing just brought back a memory, wait, not brought back a memory, but put you back into the memory. The smells, the feeling, all of it. You felt the way you did then. Whether it is the sound of the song, or the words, it happens to us all. If I am confused about something or trying to figure out something I put in a certain song that relates to the problem, and somehow I see clearly. I base everything on music, hell my mood is pretty much determined by the music I am listening to. It is a great way to remember. Just sit watch a sunset or right after the sun has gone down, look at the city sky line, or the country, where ever you are. Put in a song that means something, or just fits the moment, and watch. You will see things you have never seen, redefine yourself, or just become more clear. The soundtracks of our lives are written by us. Make it a good one, when you are out, in, or gone mind your surroundings and take it all in, associate a song with the moment or memory and you can visit that memory any time you want, just put in the song. In the words of the Great Penny Lane, "If you get lonely, just go down to the record store and visit your friends."
