Songs tell (you) me a lot

This is how I figure out how strongly I feel about certain people/incidents in my life.

A lot of times, each phase of my life has a song associated with it. If the phase is nice, obviously playing the song gets good memories back, and if its related to someone I liked then playing it again lets me know whether I still feel something towards them.

And now there is the new one. I have a song which reminds me of one the worst phases of my life, and I have not played it since a long time because even though I am absolutely happy with my life, I get scared to play it because I feel like if I do, a lot of pain and hurt is gonna say.. "Hello, its been a while, why don't we talk.." sigh....

But then I just played it right now, and even though memories came back and made me a little uncomfortable, I think in sometime I will get there.

I always used to wonder after watching movies, and reading books, that how does one incidence change so much in people. I could never really get it.. until now. I think I get it now, I understand how certain things teach you so much for the good or worse, that you just CHANGE.

Coming back to the original point, songs remind me so much. From childhood memories, good times, and things that broke me down completely.

It's a good thing actually, that ways I actually figure out how much of the impact still lasts :))

Damien Rice's 'Rootless Tree' reminds me of things.... not that I get sad.. but it still has the power to remind me...

What I want from you
Is empty your head
They say be true
Don't stain your bed
We do what we need to be free
And it leans on me
Like a rootless tree

What I want from us
Is empty our minds
We fake a fuss
And fracture the times
We go blind
When we've needed to see
And it leans on me
Like a rootless...

So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing to you
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me
Then hate me so good that you can let me out
Let me out of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out,
Let me out of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out

What I want from this
Is learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that's been told
Killers reinvent and believe
And this leans on me
Like a rootless...

So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it,
It's nothing to you
And if you hate me, hate me , hate me,
Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out of this hell when you're around


And fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing to you
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me
Then hate me so good that you can let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out,
Hell when you're around...(Repeat 4x)

Let me out, let me out, let me out...

It's hell when you're around
