The song doesn’t fade away , however the lyrics did..
Some songs are like museums and some are even displays of archaeological digs, metaphorically talking ofcourse. Our simple minded brain simply assigns a correlation with our feelings and the songs we listen to, hence creating a quintessential recall when played again.
A little thought experiment might help you be on the same page as me, for now, atleast. Imagine walking in the morning , very early , and listening to a particular song. Now, imagine doing this for 2 months, the same/similar song playing over while you walk down that path in the dimly lit outdoors with not a soul around. Imagine that this walk of yours elicits you to think or enact your present, past or even the future. This could even be a pondering time for your current life events. Think that this/these song(s) fit perfectly with your thinking process, maybe even aid it. Sounds, melodies and words could be synonymous with that feeling howsoever the song could be of any genre/mood/tense.
Now see yourself out of that situation for a long time, say 2 years. Play the damn thing again and all that returns is the feeling that you went through at that time. No relations , no references, nothing ! all that you recall is the set of emotions that went trough your brain and every last bit of it is bought back fro the grave of time.
I damned the song a while ago, but then in retrospect this could be a very entertaining prospect !! A little recording device is present outside of our brain !! They carry our input stimuli for anytime-anywhere convenience.
I remember the time i stared at the sun, i don’t know where but i remember what i felt..the lyrics look dull in comparison to what i saw in the sun, and they are faing. That was what i intended to do, but the songs kept on playing.
Melodies and beats ..like the museums of your own life.
