What comes is better than what came before

Songs become part of our history - quite similar to old relationships long since lost. In the beginning, you can't quite get enough of a particular new song. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of every emotion you're feeling, and the music reaches you like nothing else ever has.

But this new feeling slowly fades until you no longer listen to your new favorite song quite as much as you used to. The lyrics, while still meaningful, describe emotions you have felt for so long that you have become numb to them. The magic is gone.

It will be maybe months, even years, before you listen to this song again. And when you do, it will be a bittersweet memory, reminding you of feelings you may or may not want to forget. But it is part of your history - forever linked to you in some way that no one else can possibly understand. You will never hear the song in any other way.

This is why tonight, I'm lost in my memories.
