All our posts have references to songs.

And that's probably because music and life are synonymous.

Every song that means anything to me at all is invariably linked to or associated with someone in my life - someone I like, someone I liked, someone I love, someone I loved, someone I share an amazing memory with, someone I share a now not so amazing memory with. And the list goes on. You get the drift.

And that would make some songs horrible reminders of things better left forgotten. But how can you Not end up linking a song to the apt person or moment?

The same could be said for the song 'The Way You Look Tonight', from that heart-breaking scene from My Best Friend's Wedding, which I happened to catch again a couple of days back while sitting in a hotel in Bombay. In the recent past, that scene has come to mean something to me. Details shall be avoided. But it's not the song that has any direct connection - although it Is one unbelievably romantic song. It's the situation. And for a minute I could picture myself in that situation, but having another song sung to me.

And then I wonder. Am i sadistic?

But then a little while later, it doesn't matter to me anymore. And I take strange solace in Stephen King's optimistic yet not-so-optimistic quote: "Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all."

The rest of the quote is lovely, too. But it doesn't fit in here.

Then again, I think I might have stopped talking about songs altogether in the last few paragraphs.
