forever and always
for the good, and the bad and the ugly

it's stuck in my head ever since my drive home earlier on! it's been quite a long while since something worth has managed to inch into that small head of mine. what's more, to stay long enough for me to actually remember the lyrics too.

and i always wonder, songs written by bands and non-singular artists, are the sentiments felt by all or usually by the lead singer/head? what if you've never felt it at all, how would you sing it with the rest? do you pretend you do, try your hardest to imagine yourself as so, or just play it like any other song. i've always wondered that in my head, especially those sung by teeny bopper boys with floppy hairs and too-cool looks; like really?


either way it can be a wonder, that somehow along the way, popular (as somehow all alternative or indie or whatever are becoming) music somehow captures a fraction of the multitude of feelings a human being can feel, strung into words, formed into lyrics, weaved into a tune, sung as a song.

maybe not always being able to capture it right as a stab into the heart, dizzy in the brain neutron, tickle in the bones or even a blackout in the mind. but somewhat close.

maybe it differs in the gender, maybe it differs in the setting, maybe it doesn't happen in a club, maybe not after a fight, maybe it wasn't your fault, maybe no one's fault, maybe nothing even happened, anything.

but yet, somehow we try hard to fit our own stories into some of these.

or likewise, they, spinning these tracks weaved out from the laughter, tears, silences, smiles and touches of their (and essentially ours and others') lives.


maybe our biographies are not so different after all.

we'll grow old together
forever and always
