modern jazz quartet




odds against tomorrow

 

~

 

someday   maybe   you'll come across

something

i don't know   a photo or letter

 

something

that reminds you of me   us

 

i have this music   and forty years from now

i may come across it

long forgotten    and listen   and remember you   us

 

as we are today   as you are   here   beside me

listening 

 

~

Yes, music brings things back so well. Also unique smells. I am not a great fan of jazz but I am of Joan Amatrading who uses a lot of jazz chords and changes in her work. This was a nice little jazzy piece.

That's an interesting thought. It's been more like 45 years, and Rod Stewart's Maggie May still reminds me of a woman I loved.

Nothing brings back a memory like music. it is like being there again. I believe it's universal. Love the poem though it's tinged with wistful sadness.+

I like this a lot, I think because that is the essence of memory and feelings, a piece of music, a word or a picture and wham there are you are in the moment again
