Memories

I wonder how many, and which memories could I dredge up from my lifetime if I blogged about one per day?

Sometimes there is a fleeting feeling of nostalgia, other times waves of memories that wash over me. Sometimes I could write a novel; other times a photo is more than words.

This song has been on my mind tonight: "Every Night (When the Sun Go In)"
Although the beautiful lyrics and tune were the only aspects on my mind, as I turn my attention to the melody in my head I find myself facing middle school, and the chamber choir, Seventh Heaven, along with the longtime director of the choir and all the pride that came with being a member of the prestigious Seventh Heaven. With those memories come recollections of weekly performances, either in concert or in private homes or even once at the state capital. Memories of 7:30am rehearsals, jokes on the director, spending so much time together with every performance. The group of friends that formed during these two years of 7th and 8th grade were my friends throughout high school, and most of them are still tight today.

The song itself is beautiful, if a bit sad. There are present accompanying feelings with the tune, but the memories outweigh the emotions for now.
