Songs of the Past (Life Tracks)
The first time I heard this song was in my childhood, when I was a little child, with, maybe, a little more than 5 years. I really liked the song, and the video was so strange, it was so good. It reminds me of “Californication” of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but a little bit better. It also reminds me of my childhood almost each time I hear it, and I enjoy it.
My mom loves JLo a lot, and almost every time we would go in the car with her, she would put a disk full of a variety of music, Jlo’s songs being one of them. This song reminds me of those moments that my mom began to play it; it reminds me, in a way, of my mom.
I didn’t understand what the song really meant when I was little, I would just enjoy it. My mom would later explain me that this song is about a man that fell in love at first sight, but knew that he would never be with her. It reminds me a little bit of my past, of what has happened to me, which is sad, but at the same it I’m happy that it had happened.
This song is somewhat strange, not only in the lyrics, but also in the video. I remember that one time, three friends of mine and me sat down together, and talked about this song. It was funny because there was a point in the conversation that we would try to do our best to sing the chorus just like in the song. We told a friend, or let the rest of the group judge (I don’t even remember) who had sung the chorus really good.
This is a really sad song, and I remember being addicted to it for some time. What’s even worse, the rhythm of the song made it even sadder. It reminds me of the bad moments in my past, about my suffering and almost everything bad, but I still enjoy this song.
I remember one time searching for music videos, and this one song came with a series I really liked. How this person had edited the video was amazing, but the song made it even better. Also, this song has a lot of intensity, and would make me imagine a scenario where I was mad at everyone, and how they would react to me being mad. I wondered if my classmates would help me overcome that anger, or not, and how I would treat them.
One time, a friend of mine came to my house to finish a project we had in literature. I don’t remember that well, and I might just be making something up, but I remember that my friend asked me of it was okay to put a song, and I said yes. At first, I didn’t like the song, it was long, and strange, it wasn’t my taste, but I ended up liking it a lot. This made me a little bit closer to one of the groups in my class, and I was happy.
I don’t know how, I don’t even remember how I found this song, I just found it. I remember watching the video that Eurovision had filmed in Youtube. I liked the video a lot. One could see people just dancing everywhere from a bunch of places, it was just amazing. I remember showing it to my sister and my mom, and I would never stop saying that I loved it, and just show the video to them over and over again. It sure was funny.
If I remember correctly, I watched their music video in Cartoon Network one day. It made me happy, this young man, wearing a white suit, jumping and playing with the èople while he had a smile in his face. My sister and I liked it so much, that we would jump around the house non-stop, and we would get really tired a few minutes later. Just like in Madcon’s Glow, this video made me happy because of the unity of people shown.
This song was recently presented to me. Just before my departure, a friend called me, and played this song for me. I loved it, and he said that it was something for me to remember. I didn’t know what to say, so I just said thank you very much, and wished him luck because he was going to another place. I really love this song, I’m really happy that he showed it to me.
