The reason why I cry listening to these old songs isn't because I want to return to the past.
It's through music that I get to bear witness to all my past selves. I can see the girl and woman I used to be. She doesn't know I'm there.
I know my future self is here, right now, watching these tears.

Hope you find a little time to enjoy some good music and sit with all of your selves - past, present, future - this weekend.
Hope you are enjoying the trip!
Music is beautiful that way.

When it comes to music, I don't live in the past, but, it's a lovely place to visit🤗🤗🤗🤗
Now I get to cry in joy instead of sorrow.
But it’s absolutely true. Those songs are a reflection of what we were
Your statement makes me look inward towards cognizance vs nostalgia in my own life
The good
The bad
And
The ‘oh hell no’
Lol

I communicate my deepest emotions via music/ songs. Most people don’t get me.
OTOH, our 36-year-old daughter passed away in 2020. I listen to sad songs from that era to cry &, in a way, to give myself strength.
He is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down?🎶

Although in my case I was a player. Last gig in '70 was lead guitar in a band fronting Joe Walsh and Jethro Tull in a triple bill.
Three weeks later had a career-ending combine accident on the farm.
I listen to the old tunes alone - so no one sees me crying.
We all have our own memories. Mine are eight decades old. That girl doesn't exist anymore.
Much love and many 🫂
It's looking back with a better understanding of those dangers. Sending love to you for taking the time to remind me of how I arrived at this moment in time. We're all in this time now.
Now, I'm alone, but I raised two daughters who are stronger than I ever was and that's what makes me accept what I went through.
I still hurt, but their joy in their adult lives makes me strong. 🫂
Love to you. We have endured and now thrive in our own way. Alone is not such a bad thing.
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

Thank you so much for posting this.
Some songs evoke the meal I ate, the love I made or even
The sadness I felt at the time I first heard it.
I breathe in the strength from all those who have loved the music- the hopes of what could be.
