There is so much I'd love to share with people I know. There is so much in my heart dying to get out, to be expressed, shown, explained, and painted in every color.
It's so difficult to be as passionate as I am and not be able to share 100% of my experiences because of a language barrier. There are so many amazing songs, writings, stories, etc. in Spanish that could never quite be translated into English. The song I'm listening to now is one of those...
I wish I could transport with words the feelings I felt in the past, growing up in a different culture. There are feelings I felt growing up in Buenos Aires that I haven't felt anywhere else since. For those who've never experienced it, how do you explain to them the aroma of a condiment, the scent of a flower or a specific color to a blind person? Better yet, I wish I could take everyone on a trip to where I grew up, down my memory lane, to meet my friends... yet thinking about it, it's just not the same. Everything has changed and I could never re-create those scenes that live in my head nor the feelings they conjured up.
Anyway, this song is fairly new, but it takes me back. How? It reminds me of the things I felt growing up, and in the weirdest way it brings back memories...? How can that happen??
I suppose good music has that power.
