Music & love
If there is one common thread that can connect all of humanity, it would be music. If you think about it, every culture has a form and expression of music that is distinct. Over the years, my taste in music has been varied, and as I’m exposed to more kinds, the more I tend to appreciate the art of creating music.You know how most couples have a “song”? It used to be that, a long time ago, Jagadish’s and mine was ‘How you remind me’ by Nickelback. Wherever I’d go-shopping, hair cut, grocery store, or even in my car, I’d hear it play around me all the time. It wasn’t really our “song” as such but just happened to be a coincidence of sorts.
More recently, however, we both fell in love with a song we heard over and over again on the car radio while driving around. More than anything else, it was the lyrics that really hit the spot for us. Especially as we know what it is to be in a long distance relationship; what it is to feel longing and loneliness; what it is to crave to be together and be merry.
This song not only reminds me of all the good memories we have, and the reason we so love each other, but it also reminds me that distance is but a word.The song I’m talking about is by Plain White T’s and is titled ‘Hey there, Delilah’. Here it is, from YouTube.
Despite everything, I know we have something special, and I know, in my heart, it’s got to have all happened for a reason. Destiny.Just listening to this song makes me feel a whole lot better.
And just a little sad that we aren’t together right here, right now.
Someday, we will.
