> The music you first heard when you were a teenager starts out as a soundtrack running in the background of your memory movies.

Incredibly accurate, (and I love how you phrase this: "memory movies") but I'd go all the way back to the womb. They say smell is the sense most tied to memory, but if that's true then for me music is a very close second. And it's also true how our interpretations of songs will change as we age, for better or worse. Thanks for this, it was a good read and got me nostalgic.

Thanks Lisa! I agree that music is a very close second to smell in terms of being tied to memories.

Loved the poem, but this dead-business is depressing.

So, I stick with the poem and try to let it flow into something meaning happy or life or fun. Or something.
