Do you know these nights when you are alone at home and you feel lonely for no particular reason? You have friends to meet on the next day and you also haven't been lonely the whole day; there is a lot you can do, nice movies on TV, blogging, reading etc. but still you feel this weird loneliness inside of you? I feel like that right now. I can't really say why (ok, maybe I could if I thought really hard^^) but these phases are good for being creative. One can write the best shortstories and songtexts in a mood like that and I want to present you one I wrote last october, being back from all my trips and rethinking everything. It is a song about a feeling we all know, when you realize that happy memories can never be preserved but in in your head.
THOSE TIMES
I remember all of us
Just sitting there, in the warming sun.
There were also fight and fuss
But soon swept away by a gentle breeze.
And we had so much fun.
CHORUS:
I remember those times
They are gone forever
Like lost lines
Gone, but still on my mind
Be replaced by new ones soon
But these will be gone, too
When I look at the pictures taken,
They seem so far away
My memory is awakenin'
And I can't find no words to say
How much this pain is achin'
Inside of me
'Cause memories are all they'll ever be
BRIDGE:
Happy moments I want to cling to -
I want to hold on
But I have to let go
I know that they'll be gone
With the first rays of the morning sun
CHORUS 2x
ps: Additionally to these lines I want to share a song with you which I really really like, above all, when I am in a mood like this. It's from Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and is called "Somewhere over the rainbow".

mmmh... my second comment on your blog... and lets see.. what nice lyrics... I think almost everybody feels like that sometimes... and i'm thinking about the lyrics and about your foregone text.
about your lyrics... i think they're quite good... the fear that a memento could fade away, and that a memory will only be a little fragment in your head and nothing more... mmmh... i think i know what you are talking about...
keep writing... and i'll keep reading :)
Greetings

Lovely, Jazzie. And I agree about sadness being a great motivator for writing.
Yeah and I'm really sorry I can't visit your blog for a while (I wrote about that in the post below)...maybe I'll try again with the university PCs haha^^
