Memories and Music

"Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again"

Music is the most powerful form of communication, in my opinion.  Music can make me cry, it can make me happy, it can echo my feelings as if I wrote it.  It's helped me through great pains in my life.  It's celebrated with me through great joys.  It's a medium like no other.  It can change my mood with a change of song. 

I've had a seven day headache which has made my mood quite something to fear.  No one could come close to me or comfort me.  I have managed to listen to some quiet music, which has been nice.  Listening to song's I've not listened for a while.  I put a music list together that's lasted 8 hours.  During those 8 hours I have cried, I have laughed, I've relived memories, I've got hyper, I've got reflective.  I doubt there is a single emotion I've not felt.  About ten minutes ago, the song Relax by Mika played.  You can imagine that with an 8 hour play list you can't remember every song you've put on there.  This song played and immediately I was back at the flat, with The Boys and especially thinking about S.  It made me smile as I remembered the fun we had, the times we shared.  At the same time I felt the pain of not seeing S, and not having him in my life.  It was an intense experience.

Just thought I'd share.
