Every day has a soundtrack.
Movies have them... and I believe that people do, as well.
Sometimes our days are entire albums, where from the first note to the last we think that without a doubt someone else took the thoughts that we couldn't figure out how to write down and put them to music. Sometimes our soundtracks are instrumental; we don't need words to express the way we think and feel. Some days our soundtracks are like mix tapes; cut and recorded over to whatever level of perfection we desire.
No two days are identical, nor are two soundtracks.
Some days one song can make no sense, when other days the same exact song clicks with us. Sometimes we're not ready to hear what artists have tracked for us.
My soundtrack for today is Poverty Branch's "Putting The Old Horse Down".
The lyrics have been carefully crafting my pensive notions in to clear thoughts.
A cloud has covered up tomorrow's sun,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
I've got to get myself together and get back in touch
With the things that mean so much to me.
The bolded line threw me in to a whirlwind of thought about when and where you draw the line on certain dreams.
Some goals that we want just aren't meant to fit in to our lives, no matter how much we want them.
Just cut your losses and move on...
Every day we learn lessons; whether someone else teaches us or we have to teach ourselves.
Some day's lessons are easier than others.
Today's lessons are a little harder to swallow down.
Thankfully I have my day's soundtrack filling my ears... because it understands me more than I do, right now.

Good so I'm not crazy. I routinely find myself in situations where I think this song would suit this moment.
And I remember moments in the past by songs, rather than remembering, like i remember what I was listening to the day princess diana died, and the twin towers, more so than where I was.
