Music Portals

Do you ever find a song that just takes you back? Like a rift in time, a portal that takes you to the past; to a certain moment in time that meant so much to you? I have that happen all the time. Music has a way of taking you back to a familiar memory. Be it sad, or happy; it takes you there. Here are some examples.

December by Collective Soul

This song brings me back to a time when my parents were still together. Here I'll put it on and tell ya what I see.....ahh there we go. Long tiring car rides after going to see relatives. Crisp breeze wafting through the window as we drive down the high way. Bright lights from other passing cars. That's what I remember when I hear this song. Of course that memory is where I listened to that song.

Then in my previous post I spoke of how Tim McGraw's My Old Friend brought back slightly painful memories.

So what song brings back memories for you? They can be little as little as just seeing mental pictures to as vivid as if you were right there again.

My Old Friend

Here I go again, remenescing about the old days. I just started listening to Tim McGraw again and well one song I use to listen to after I lost Sally came on and all the memories flooded back. It'll be six years since she's been gone. And if you haven't been following along with me from the beginning then Sally is my old horse; my first horse. The song I'm listening to is called My Old Friend, and this is how it goes:

My old friend, I recall
the times we had hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold
Cause they laugh and they cry me
Somehow sanctify me
They're woven in the stories i have told
and tell again

My old friend, I apologize
for the years that have passed
since the last time you and I
dusted off those memories
but the running and the races
the people and the places
there's always somewhere else I had to be
time gets slim, my old friend

Don't know why, don't know why
don't know why, don't know why

My old friend, this song's for you
cause a few simple verses
was the least that I could do
to tell the world that you were here
cause the love and the laughter
will live on long after
all of the sadness and the tears
we'll meet again, my old friend

Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye

My old friend, my old friend
Goodbye, goodbye

I remember all sorts of memories when I hear this song. And once again I feel like I'm being taken back to a better time. Back to a time when everything was right.

Its Over

I have finally completed my never to be released ever book, The Anchor. FINALLY! I can't even remember when I started it, like last year or something? But it's over, 67 pages over. I actually liked the outcomes to it, but i'm not sure if it really flowed that much towards the end.

Now to work on the other forty something unfinished projects in my document file on my laptop. Wish me luck.

April Fools

What an interesting day to celebrate; getting kicks from pulling pranks on citizens of the world:P

Like how yesterday I told Phil that I had figured out I was bi. I guess it worked for the most part anyways, but I should think of something better for next year; something more drastic.

So I'm hoping everyone had a fantastic day fooling people left and right, but not too much; don't want anyone crying now, do we?......


Or do we? >.>

But our class today got a good one pulled on us, she had written on the board that we had three hours for our exam and I was like...wtf...O.O *saucer eyes*. Everyone else was shocked too, and I was starting to wonder what week I was in :/

At least that's one teacher that i've had over the many years of my educational life that has pulled an April Fools on their class... Annnyyywaaayyysss

That is all for tonight my fellow followers, have a great night, morning, evening, afternoon, or intergalactic time zone. I'm off to be goofy, stupid and utterly useless to the general public until hopefully August:P
