A True Indication

 

I believe the common thread that runs through all of us is the music with which we grew up.   Even a portion of a lyric can spark a memory or feeling.  A simple tune can make a connection to something long ago.  She came in through the bathroom window, doesn’t to us, suggest a felony, but perhaps a calming remembrance of a time past, just as a bridge over troubled water wasn’t something we saw on the weather channel.

Couples tend to have a favorite song.  For them, it locks in a promise, a commitment of harmony.   These tend to be universal threads, no matter the country, language or culture.  It signifies our time, this took place when we were here, and I remember it.

A true indicator of your age is how rarely your favorite song gets played on the oldies station.
