memories

studying for my history exam tmr with itunes plugged in.

music is always a bringer of the past.

as forever young starts playing, so do snapshots of memories in my head.

i did say that this song would forever be associated with australia.

Can you imagine when this race is run
Turn our golden faces into the sun

hmm what do i remember? i remember the drive home from byron bay in the blue ford fairmont. playing music from the cds, songs, singing along to them. as the day drew to a close.. from noon, leaving byron, going past different places on the coast... till sunset drew near at burleigh and to the end of a great weekend.

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs that we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

i remember the photo slideshow...how playing it brought a new section to the slideshow.. how the photos, too brought back all the good times, how they were over and it was time to say goodbye to those experiences.

it's a happy nostalgia, but also a bit of a stinging nostalgia.

Forever Young
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sand-pit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men.

Can you imagine when this race is run
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody, some are the beat
Sooner or later they all be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs that we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
