More Than Words

For as long as I can remember I've always listened to songs for various reason. Most of my friends just listen to songs because of the good beat or because the lyrics. But I seem to find myself always dreaming while I listen to certain songs. Some songs I'll pretend I'm playing basketball while listening to it. The way the song plays goes well with what I'm thinking about. Its kind of hard to explain but certain beats or melodies in the song can make me think of doing a certain thing. A lot of times when I hear songs, I always think about what kind of movie scene they would be good for. Like if I hear a new song and I don't already have a memory attached to it. My friend thinks i'm weird because I tell him what I'm thinking about doing at that particular song.
Another thing I've realized is how songs bring back so many memories. I think everybody does that. I've gotten a lot of older songs that I never listend to but I remember my mom playing them a lot while I was little. Probaby back in the 80's and early 90's. I would hear these songs so much that it brings back memories of me being a child and certain child hood events. Its all good memories nothing bad. But it makes me miss a lot of things. Seems like every song that I've ever listened to ona cosistant basis for a period of time resembles a part of my life. I'm only 21, but already there's a bunch of songs that take me back to high school, and college too. For example, If I listened to a certain song a lot in middle. The events that took place while listening to that song in that period will come back to mind very clear when I listen to it 7 years later.
It really doesn't matter if the songs are good, they're "your" songs. They'll be forever associated with certain memories in your life. That's why people stop listening to new music when they get older (also because their life is set, they've settled down, and there's not a lot of special new moments to be had).
