Living In A Memory

There is something about music that just makes a memory really click for me. I find songs a way of expressing myself but more importantly a way to remember life. Whether its a trip to nowhere to visit a run away Aunt and Uncle or playing babies’ as a child in my mom's sewing room, there is nothing more memory inducing to me than Simon and Garfunkel. Each song sends me back to a time when I was young, innocent and living a life so different from the one I live today. So different from the one my own children live. I see flashes of paper dolls, metal toys and my silver boom box. Oh how I loved that double deck boom box! No it did not play CDs so my first Simon and Garfunkel was cassette. And it rocked, both sides!

A few years ago I made a point to by this CD (the cassette still exists but Im to lazy to flip sides) so that I could listen to them more often but unfortunately I haven’t listened to it for some time. While blog surfing today I found this entry and BOOM I was back in 1985 and I feel obliged to share these songs with you. Enjoy, or not I could care less honestly.




There are so many great Simon & Garfunkel songs but Ill spare your sanity for now. I know that most of you have no idea who they are or wish to watch them anyway. But this is good music yo. My inner child says so.
