When Music Remembers

Just Me and the Music

By JATIN Published 9 months ago 1 min read

Somewhere right now... someone is listening to a song.

Maybe in their room, maybe with their eyes closed... maybe smiling... or maybe hiding a tear.

And honestly, I feel that.

Because when I sit alone... I often play a song too.

Not just for fun — but because it makes me feel something.

It’s like the song knows what I’m going through.

Like... it understands me more than people sometimes do.

Have you ever played an old song... and suddenly, your whole past comes alive?

A memory you thought was long gone — suddenly flashes in front of your eyes.

That moment, that place, that one person…

You feel it all again. And even if it hurts... it feels real.

You know... there are songs that make us cry —

Not because they’re sad, but because they say the things we never could.

They bring out that silence we carry inside.

And maybe, in those 3 minutes, we don’t feel so alone.

Music has this strange magic.

It stays.

It doesn’t ask questions.

It doesn’t leave.

It just plays… and we let go.

When I’m sitting alone, I often think... how a simple song can become our best friend.

It holds us, reminds us...

That we're still alive.

Still feeling.

Still healing.

Maybe someone right now is smiling, remembering their first love...

Or maybe just missing someone who’s far away.

Maybe… that someone is you.

So tell me this — when was the last time a song made you smile?

And which song was it?
