Music resonates
Songs stay
They rattle
I hear “Desperado”
In a traffic jam
And I listen
Melodies carry memories
They carry me back
Music elicits
Elation, sorrow
Music doesn’t care
That you lost your job
Forgot to pay the bill
Music is consistent
Life is not
Music never deviates
Never fails
I hear “Desperado”
I listen
It remains the same

so many memories to songs, enjoyed
Yes, music is the soul of living.
Was listening to Phildelphia earlier.
Here I here memories and how they stay the same. Desperado by the Eagles Desperado by Linda Ronstadt both memories well done
Katie, the return to that same song really holds it together…coming back to it anchors the whole piece, like a constant you can rely on no matter what’s going on. It lands clean. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Damn
Music is my life line Katie and always has been.
