Oh the Music...

Doesn't it just take you back? You hear a song, even the opening guitar riff, and you are catapulted back to a time that, hopefully, brings a wide smile to your face. I just heard Kings of Leon's "Notion" because I am so fortunate as to have Canadian radio out here in Korea. I was brought back to a time when running 10 km in the London winter was just the start of a workout, when rising from bed later than 7:30am was unheard of, when I was still a Mustang, when new beginnings were on the horizon and every single day seemed to hold more promise than (could it be?!) the day before that. Recalling feeling that happy made me happy again. Isn't it amazing that at the exact same time I was probably in the most depressed "place", emotionally speaking, that I could be in? And yet, there it was: hapiness surrounding me, embracing me, tempting me with its infectious power. Its a great day.
