Music video

I recently saw a new music video by a band that I particularly enjoy listening to; they hold many fond memories for me, as well as melancholy, a sense of anticipation and a tiny bit of heart break too. When I watched this video it filled me with a sense of wonder and got me thinking about various things including memory and memories.
This music video was absolutely wonderful and I found myself at a real loss to stay neutral as I watched it, I couldn't help get swept up in the joy of it and what it reminded me of; it triggered so many memories and my senses were overloaded by sights, sounds and even smells (although smell-a-vision has yet to be invented). I know that it propbaly sounds daft that all of this was inspired by an mv, but it was interedting to me that such things can be powerful stimuli; this band, oddly, didn't make up a large part of this particular memory soundtrack, and this song doesn't even feature...so it got me thinking evenmore.
Although the mv was completely new to me, I felt like I had seen it before OR more aptly it was as if it spoke of things to come that only sub-consciously I have a handle on. Sometimes my sister and I will hear a song and, for some unknown reason, it sounds significant to us and the only thing that we can say is that it is "about somehting that hasn't happened yet" and this was one of these moments. It is as if something later on will happen and this song will be playing in my mind when it does. This prospect excites me because the song is very beautiful and optimistic and, so far, I can only dream of the wonders that will unfold!

Blessed be.
