I don’t know why but I have to deep of an emotional connection to songs. I cry to a lot of song when I have memories attached to them. But sometimes I don’t even have memories attached to them, I just listen to the lyrics and imagine the story behind it and the times when the band members wrote it and how they all felt and for some reason I feel that too. I think that’s why music affects me so profoundly. I don’t let it die, I keep these ideas of people in my mind. When I listen to “Is This It” I don’t see Julian and Nick and Fab and Albert and Nikolai, at least not as they are today. In my mind they are stuck in a time warp via album, and whenever I hear the songs on it they are back to being young kids who are just starting out. But the same goes for any band/album. Even if I listened to the album in 100 years, I wouldn’t think “oh wow these guys are dead” I would cry because of memories they probably had when they were young and crazy and life was reckless. I think I cry because I desperately wish for a reckless life, something in my life that I can reflect on and feel sad for the lost days, and happy they happened, and glad I survived them, and thankful that they are done. I want an Is This It moment in time. EDIT: I am going to compile the songs/albums that make me feel this way here: Is This It -The Strokes (2001) Kamikaze Collective- Deepakalypse (2003) Smith Westerns- Smith Westerns (2009) The Colour and Shape (specifically Everlong)- Foo Fighters (1997) Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (whole album especially 1979)- Smashing Pumpkins (1995)
