“Memory is what we are. Your very soul and your very reason to be alive are tied up in memory.” Nick Cave
Had a bit of a session at Rosie's last night and it was fruitful in that I found Nick Cave and this during it. I had a jukebox session where I put on what the hell I wanted just for me, so there was Big Star, Triffids, R.E.M, Television and Dion too, and enjoyed the football and the company . This particular song has a deeper personal meaning for me than any other I can think of. I won't trouble you with the story behind it here. Enough to say that every time I hear it the mechanisms within me kick in, my body churns and tears well. It's painful too but it's somehow important to hold on and re-experience those emotions occasionally to try to be true to the ones and things that you love. Music and memory are quite miraculous, inexplicable things.
