And it's so strange because this song is so old... I mean, it was one of the Bleach endings. And don't get me wrong, I loved this song but I loved it back when I first heard it, back when I was still watching Bleach... For it to come up again, in my mind, all these years later is weird.
It's not like I've forgotten the song. Obviously since it's in my mind, it's been part of my consciousness ever since then. And yeah, I loved how beautiful this song was and is -- it's even the ringtone for my sister. And yeah, it's kinda weird because if you listen to the lyrics, it's very much a love song to a much beloved lover but the song was just so beautiful and maybe it was because of the subject matter that every time I heard this song, the color pink would flood my mind, but to me, pink was always my sister's color and somehow that connection was made for this song to my sister. And so it's been her ringtone for the past decade.
Maybe it's because today is my sister's 30th birthday that all this is being stirred up in my mind. I don't know. I just find it incredibly strange... I don't know. But you know that beginning I was talking about? The one with the singular instrument that sounds like it's being plucked? That always sounded like it was coming from a toy to me. Something simple and childlike. But then it just sweeps into this amazing and beautiful instrumental piece before it settles down for the vocals... Maybe I am reading too much into it but now that I think about it, it's like the transition from being a child to adulthood and how beautiful it can be when it all smooths down.
Or maybe I'm just sleep deprived right now and this is just the musings of a crazy person...
Geez, I think I need to go to bed already...
