I don’t know why, but listening to this piece stirred
something up inside of me. Sad memories of the past. My grandparents’ deaths.
Some weird dream I had last night about a random guy throwing himself onto the
train tracks, a whole bunch of kids watching as the train rolls in (I don’t
know why I had that dream, I never saw anything like that (thankfully), but
this music brought it back to my mind).
Don’t know why I felt like writing this here (didn’t
mean to disturb anyone), but the point is, this music brought these memories
out. But it didn’t necessarily make me sad, more like sentimental, pensive. I
thought about all the people dying during 9/11. Must have been so terrible
seeing that on TV, or even live. Loosing loved ones just like that, I cannot
even imagine the pain those left behind must feel.
This dying, the memories of these people slowly fading
away. It’s been more than twenty years, but I am sure the horror is still there
in the victims that survived. But it may be faded now. Still there, but less
intense. Like the music slowly fading, changing. Taken from a fading, dying
tape.
I guess this made me realize, everything is mortal,
comes to an end sooner or later. Nothing can be preserved forever, not even the
happiest memory. It all fades one day.
I’ve been watching my candle burn while listening.
Sometimes its flickering seemed to resonate with the music. The flickering
light of hope that maybe there is a better day out there, a better tomorrow
without these horrible terrorist attacks, with people caring about each other
and their environment.
This was heavy, it really got me thinking, even though
it is such a simple piece. (I am not depressed by the way ;), just very pensive
I guess).
