i love what ben said here in his 10 july entry.
to quote verbatim
and the damage is done
certain songs are inexorably tied to specific memories
it's funny how an arrangement of sounds can bring you
back to forgotten moments in time
what's even more absurd were the songs that produced longings
for lovers we hadn't even met or events which never to took place
the person you longed to see every morning in bed when you woke up
the patient ear that would embrace your thoughts and never leave you feeling
trivialized or disenchanted, but always accepted
the embrace that would hold you in your darkest sorrows
as well as dance with you during your greatest joys
sometimes these songs make me release a skeptical sigh
but in the end they made me believe in love
and there's nothing wrong with love
---
we could slip away
wouldn't that be better
me with nothing to say
and you in your autumn sweater
