(you can listen to the song and read the lyrics from the following link: https://soundcloud.com/sunlightheart/thinking-about-you)
This song is about teenage romance. Or first romances. First heartbreak. First hit/fix of lust. First injection of a drug more powerful than heroin = love. Or what we thought was love when we were blindly naive. When we were happily insane. When for a moment we didn’t feel alone. When we felt like Gods and Godesses… if only for a moment.
Some of those romances might last, good for you. Most of them don’t, good for me. But feelings last. Emotions last. The song is also about loss and what ifs. About fucking up (like I did) and moving on. About whether we ever really forget. Whether we should…
Wrote the lyrics like 8 years ago, the music about 1 year ago. Or maybe I wrote it when I first talked to you in spanish class (we partnered up) but I just didn’t know it yet. Living in the past is not healthy but reminiscing can be exciting. Aren’t we all constantly time travelling between past and future anyways, together in our lonely fantasies?
Enjoy. See you in your ears.
Sincerely,
Markus
