The magic spell that you cast
I got too hungry in the middle of the night and i couldn’t sleep so i was just lying on my bed thinking about some stuff.
Have you ever had a song you use to play over and over again cos you felt the lyrics and fell in love with it. And then long after you got sick of it, you hear it again on the radio and it brings you back to the feelings you had when you first heard it, then you start reminiscing the past which you link these feelings to. There was this time in my life when i was at my lowest and i use to play this song over and over again. It’s by Stevie Wonder called Lately. The song is about this guy who thinks his wife is cheating on him. Not that i’ve been cheated on, i’ve never had a real relationship, just flings (one of my ex says i get bored easily, i know he’s right haha). It was something about the lyrics and the melody of the song, you can feel the love in it. It was a sad song and i was sad so i just sorta connected with that song. Everytime i hear that song now, it brings me back to a time when i felt really alone and i’ll be driving home alone at night (cos that’s when and where i use to listen to that song)
La vie en rose is another song like that and it has a bittersweet memory to it. This song is more about the melody than the lyrics. The lyrics don’t really mean much to me except for the part the magic spell that you cast, sometimes i think of the magic spell as more of a curse heh. Anyway this song brings back memories of more than 4 years ago, not that i haven’t let go of it, i have. It’s just that people mean a lot to me and i hate losing them. I hate it that you can feel so close to someone in the past and yet feel like total strangers now.
