There are some songs in the world that you connect with, instantly. From the first note you are hooked. Three lines later, you are busy googling the lyrics. You find them and play the song the second time. This time the words are in front of you. You read and understand them. The third time you have stopped listening and started heeding to the warm feeling just below your heart that is clamoring for attention. You give in and feel. How every word makes so much sense. Almost like that the entire world conspired so that you could call that your song. The fourth time you are crying, uncontrollably, wishing that you didn’t have to relate this much to the song. You are thinking things you wished you didn’t have to think about. You stop the music, but it is too late. The words are embedded in your mind. You wake up next morning humming the tune unconsciously, smile and move on.
Few years later you hear the same song. You fail to recognize it at its first note. The mind has found newer tunes, etched newer connections. But the heart remembers. You smile and move on…humming the tune unconsciously.
