it’s fascinating how hearing or seeing certain things can trigger memories, emotions, and brings you back to something that happened years ago? a little blip in your life, something that shouldn’t feel significant in the large scheme of life. yet you remember.
whenever i hear the song ‘closer’ or ‘don’t let me down’ by the chainsmokers, it brings me back to 2016 when i was in canada on my student exchange and it’s all just so nostalgic. i remember walking to school each day, and cars filled with students would whiz by always blasting either of those two songs.
whenever i hear the song 7 years by lukas graham, i think of my old online friend from Fiesta Online and wonder how he is, wonder what he’s doing now. he was the one who introduced this song to me and was one of my closer online friends, but we lost contact. kinda sad that i remember his gaming handle – Farius – but not his real name.
those were happy memories at the point in time when i was living them, but whenever i hear those songs and i’m brought back again, it feels kinda sad? it’s like, now those experiences are nothing but a memory, buried in the past and can never be re-lived again.
