There are some songs you think you just can't listen to, because they are tainted by past relationships. The ones the tear you to pieces or the ones that ended before they really began. The ones that got away and the ones that strayed. I mean man, any woman could make a soundtrack of their love life and the tainted songs that follow. Does our music die as our relationships do?!
I applaud musicians for their heart felt lyrics and body possessing instrumentals. I love the quotes you can totally use from a song and since it's millennial, the Instagram captions that follow. The main point is how can you listen to those songs and not think of someone?! There's the song that played in the background when you first said I love you. Or the song that took your breath away just as much as they did. But how much music can we toss before we realize that sometimes it's okay to play the music, listen to the lyrics, and take your body away as it did the first time you hear it. And if you remember, that's okay. Because life wasn't meant to be lived without memories- albeit good or bad. These songs are the soundtrack of your life. The end of the movie fist pump to the air and the closing and opening of a chapter.
The stained memories will always be there but it gets easier and soon you forget and remember how much you loved the song. So much so, it's on repeat and you can pull it out, dust it and play it again.
