impressions

while i was riding an fx(shuttle) to work today,some song was being played over the radio which prompted me to drift into a whimsical thought...

songs become popular for a time, dominate the airwaves and then they're gone to be remembered when the children who love them grow up and make remakes of them.

there are some songs, however, that are loved, despite their not making it to the mainstream.(or at least, i am unaware they were at some point in time) here's a story of one of these songs for me:

my aunt had a cassette tape of the Christopher Cross album, Back of my Mind. i was 9 or 10 years old at that time. i used to play the tape over and over, two songs stayed with me till now: Swept Away and I Will (Take You Forever).


in college, i found out lem digged Christopher Cross' Swept Away.

God brought us together and i believe this to be one of the very early signs.
childhood memories woven into our very lives in the present.

then suddenly i was back to the song that's fading in the background, and smiled, thinking, maybe, some little girl is listening to it the same time a little boy stumbles upon the music and makes it his own. then they meet, in the future...
