sometimes i will find a song that i will listen to over and over again. it does not happen that often, maybe every few months if that. and it could be any song really, but it usually is a song that resonates with me emotionally, often times through a combination of the music (a certain scale which is played) and phrases sung (certain words reminding me of my life). right now that song is the killers "when you were young." i am not exactly sure why, but some reasons could be explained: the video is really heartbreaking and good, so i think of that when i hear it; some of the lyrics remind me of being mormon; some of the lyrics also remind me of past relationships; i have been listening to it while looking at old pictures, which adds the nostalgia factor. all this coupled with how triumphant the music is, and i can't stop listening to it. like i seriously can't stop. i keep hitting repeat, and don't want to get up, cause i know when i do that this moment will be over. but something nice is knowing that when i listen to this song again, whenever that is, i will have the same feeling i have now.

other songs that i have done this with are:
the mountain goats' "elijah" and "the mess inside"
u2's "beautiful day"
dry spell's "send your lover off"
