Have you ever been streaming music when something unfamiliar yet striking comes on? So struck by this tune, you jot down the title with expectations of queuing it up some time later, to give it a good listen, to perhaps add it to a playlist or two.
Then you misplace your note and promptly forget the note, the title, the song and whatever mood it evoked for many, many days.
Until you stumble upon the note again.
So, you queue up the song, give it a good listen and think, "What the heck! What was I thinking?"
It isn't, mind you that the song was suddenly horrible. It just wasn't striking. Or rather, as striking. It is an okay song. It is (or was) a popular song. It has been covered by many artists, I have discovered.
Maybe it was just the day, or time of day, or . . . I don't know. Whatever it was to me at that first listen it is no longer.
Perhaps it will be again.

Or not.
I have also had that experience. One does has to wonder, like you say, "What was I thinking?" Perhaps we weren't thinking at all, only feeling for those few moments. And then the feeling is gone.
ReplyDeleteYes, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteI have had this experience. I can only guess that there is some kind of synchronicity in play when we first hear it that is missing subsequently.
ReplyDeleteThat's a valid point.
