Ever marvel at a songwriters’ ability, to create a bright combination
of words and melodic patterns, people relate to, or respond to
When combined with a performer’s unique style and interpretation
completes an artful and timeless composition, which moves you
Imagine such a song, a familiar choice
Pleasant on the ears, evoking memories of years gone by
You know, beautiful, meaningful, but with a “different” voice
One that catches on something deep inside
A hook so secure, you surrender to it, close your eyes and open your senses to it
You remember exactly where you were, the first time you were amazed by it
and it’s reminiscent of that special moment, when it became evident
it carried sentiment, which will endure, and remain resurgent
The distinctive sound is a siren’s call your soul silently welcomes and gives refuge to
Powerless to protect yourself from the interlude, the melody meanders inside, touching you
Insightful lyrics interpret perfectly, the colorful vagaries of a life, you can’t undo
The passion of the message permeates your body, while your heart pumps memory thru
Captivated by the perfect fusion of poetic expression and harmonic vibration
your heart and mind are whisked away, to a simplistic time, the way life used to be
Dancing between realities, you escape the uneasy madness of everyday distraction
and revel in the auditory delight, as yesterday’s thoughts wander aimlessly
Memorable moments, with no beginning or end, ignite, inspiring your imagination, then fade reluctantly
The sweet fragrance, of once familiar scents, reinvent, now infused with a fresh intensity
Addicted to its thrilling rhythm and rhyme, the unforgettable refrain echoes in your brain
as thoughts of ending the euphoric high, are trumped by an uncontrollable urge to play it again
As you repeat,
and repeat it
You feel the heat of it
Fill places deplete of it
You anticipate every verse
Participate in every chorus
Feel soothed and renewed by it
And then, you are over it
And when, you are over it
You are not lonely, for it
Does not forsake you
It awaits you
