Songs

You know that thing? when you stumble upon a song and realize : this is the most incredible piece of art in the world.

Instantly you want to tell everyone about your discovery.

“Have you head this?”
“isn’t it the greatest?”

But you find they don’t care for it; they think it’s ordinary.

ORDINARY! how dare they find this ordinary , you think , fuming , this thing that had altered your brain chemistry , leaving you a completely changed version of yourself ?

That’s how I felt the moment I found out that you existed , when I realized that, one day, you could exist next to me.
I saw you and then looked to the left , and then to the right, DUMBSTRUCK, was no one seeing what I was seeing?

I chanced upon you like a day-one fan of the best band in the world, still playing out of the lead singer’s garage. Patiently , I waited for everyone to one day sway to your beats, to stand in the crowd and be that annoying attendee yapping on about how I knew you before anyone else did.

Quickly, I realized that it was never going to happen. How could it?

You told me it took the right ears to know the music was special. So I plugged my earphones back in, hoping you would never stop playing.
