Have you ever had a song come into your head that just perfectly expressed how you felt? You are humming and singing it all day and it really does just hit the mark for what you want to express. Perhaps it has to do with a person. Perhaps not. Perhaps it has to do with a state of mind.
Say though, that you had an encounter with a person and nothing came of it. Say you were in that mood singing a song. Say that person heard you and thought you were singing about them. What if they responded to that song in fear? What if they responded to that song in kind? What if that song had nothing to do with them but they thought it did?
I have always been envious of people who are walking around in public singing freely without any embarrassment. I think that is a gift. I love to sing, but not just walking around in public because I am too self-conscious. And yet singing is such a healthy thing. So therapeutic. I think though I am often trying to derive meaning out of things. Or perhaps, it is that sometimes I feel very transparent.
But the bottom line is, if I am singing a song, how do you know if I am singing it because of you or if it is just a song?
Interesting post allowing us to see how your mind works. It seems that it is always wondering and questioning…..hmmmmh.
To answer your question: it is only a song and if I know and/or like it, I’ll probably sing along with you. 🙂
By the way, I love your pictures, esp. the one of the archway. Where was it taken or will it remain a mystery foever as it could be anywhere in…..Europe? (My guess though is Italy or possibly Montenegro.)
That arch was in the old city of Bar in Montenegro.
Sooo, do I get a prize/souvenir from guessing the country correctly? HAHAHAHA
Yup – a big fat smoochie
