As I was listening to the songs on my songlist while reading all of your posts, I had a thought:
Have you ever had a song-a song that you claimed as special? This song always reminded you of perhaps a significant one in your life. Everytime you heard the song, that person flashed in your mind. You had warm and gentle thoughts, all revolving around that person. You learn the significant one also loves this song. Oh that made it so much more special. You are floating along on a musical cloud of happiness everytime you hear the song-knowing how special it is to both of you.
Then you make the discovery that the song reminds the significant one of another-not you. Your song has been stolen from you! Your warm and tender feelings were dashed. Someone else has taken your place in the musically induced aura of happiness.
You never hear the song again, for the remainder of your life without experiencing a twinge of pain. The wound heals, but the scar tissue left behind knots up-each and every time the lyrics and notes reach your ears. What once was haunting and lovely is now hauntingly sad.
I am always amazed at the roll that music plays in our lives and the moods and feelings it is able to evoke. We all carry a song in our heart, even when we are not musically inclined-we still carry a tune in our inner-most beings. I pray for each of you only songs and tunes of happiness and warmth as you live the melodies that life brings your way.

I think there was a Seinfeld about this.

The woman in the painting strikes again!
This is a lot like being complimented on your perfume only to learn your loved one likes that particular scent because it is the same perfume their first love wore. PAIN FULL!
even finding that someone else (another couple) share the same "song" puts a bit of a damper on it. As if they would dare chose OUR song...of all the unmitigate gall!
