Do you have this song in your playlist that you rarely or never listen to because it reminds you of someone whenever you hear this song? And that the reason why the song is still in your playlist is also because of that? Maybe it's just you being lazy to sort out your playlist. Maybe you just don't feel like listening to that song at that point of time but you think that you will still listen to it some other time. But you actually know that the reason why you don't listen to the song and don't delete it from your playlist is because the person is one who you don't want to be reminded of but you still can't let go of.
Conflict right? But I realise yea, there really is always a song that will somehow remind you of some people in your life. Or maybe a few people. Haha! And sometimes, yes, some songs aren't the ones that you kept in your playlist and not listen to them. But yep, sometimes, it's really hard to just delete the song from your playlist even though you know that you don't really listen to the song anymore already. You just kinda still want it to remain there in the playlist. Like how you want that person to still be in your life even though you don't really talk or see the person. It's strange how people work. Or at least I hope that I'm not the only person with that song in my playlist.
But it's not exactly you not letting go. It's just, somehow you just can't really bring yourself to delete the song off? Ok, I think maybe it's really just my issue. Haha! As in hmm, yea, you still want the person to be in your life. But you don't know how to go about keeping the person there. I don't really know how to say this but I guess it's really like that song. You don't listen to it ever anymore. Or you do sometimes when you are in the mood. But it's rare. But you still want the song to be there in your playlist so that one day, when you feel like listening to the song all of a sudden, you know you can still find it in your playlist.
So I guess for that person. You may not see or talk to the person often. Or even much at all. But you know that one day, if you ever want to talk to the person again, you know you can find the person again because yea, the person is still there in your life, in your playlist. Maybe that's why you don't delete the song from your playlist because one day you may really want to hear it again. Just like how you know that this person is still important and part of your life that one day, you know you still want to talk to the person again.
And if you think about it, songs on your playlist, are really people in your life? Some songs you can never get tired of. Some songs you may not listen always but whenever you listen to them, it still feels great. The new songs are usually the ones you listen to the most initially, then after awhile, some of them will be forgotten while some will continue to be one of the songs you will listen to from time to time. Some songs that are just there in your playlist but you really never listen to them ever but this one is really you being lazy to delete them from your playlist until one day you will finally delete them off your playlist. And then yea, there are those songs that you are aware that you don't listen to them because they remind you of some people who you don't really want to be reminded of, yet at the same time, you still want the songs to be there.
This is not a properly phrased paragraph but I guess what I'm trying to say is that our playlist sometimes represents our life? The people who we can never get tired of. People who you don't see often but when you see them, you feel awesome. New friends made who you will see more often initially because it's part of the maintaining friendship part, until a point where it either continues to be good friends or slowly fade into mere acquaintances. Certain people who are really just acquaintances in your life and soon they will slowly fade from your life. And yes, the people who you try very hard to not be reminded of often but you know that they are actually still important in your life and you know that you don't want to lose them and you want to know that they will continue to be part of your life in some ways.
And that one day, when you no longer stop listening to the song on purpose just because it reminds you of the person, you know that the person is either of another kind of significance in your life or the person is sort of out of your life completely. And yes, that's when you either delete or keep the song.
Aha, I think I'm talking in a very confusing way. But yes, my main point is that I hope that one day, that song is no longer that song that reminds me of you but it's just a song as it is. And that I shouldn't skip the song because it reminds me of you but because I really genuinely don't feel like listening to it and yea you delete it from your playlist because the reasons for keeping the song in your playlist no longer holds.
But I realise sometimes, a song can change its significance. Ok, this is going to get even more confusing than it already is. Lol! It's like how places have different significance too. As in you will always remember what happened at that place if it is something significant. But new memories and even better ones can be formed at that same place as well. It doesn't mean that the place only holds one memory to you. Because yea, limited places we have here in Singapore. HAHA! But yep, of course certain memories are more significant that some others. Or maybe there are just of differing significance. They are all nice memories in different ways.
So I guess it applies to songs as well? HAHA! Sigh, I don't really know where I'm getting at anymore. I thought it out to be nice post but then as I type, I think more and then too many sides to viewing it pops up. Different perspectives. Yes, my brain works like that. WHY? Probably should consolidate the thoughts first but whatever, this is my blog so I type what comes to mind first. Haha! Maybe I'll try to consolidate what I actually mean by THAT SONG when I think about it more clearly. Or when I'm less tired. Aiya, whatever lar huh. Lol! The idea is there. I think it's good enough.
