30 day song challenge 3/30

I actually had no intention of posting twice today, but the poem I shared asked to be put on the blog, So I did. I am a slave to my writing.

Day 3

A song that reminds you of summertime

ASG – Gallop Song

The challenge is as much about music as it is about memories. For me, those two go hand in hand. This song was sent to me in the summer of 2020 via Instagram. My life was different back then. I was in constant pain (still am, but I am now used to it) and I was hungry for connection. I was active on social media (I am quieter there now) And I was unhappy. With everything. It was not the best summer, hence the less mellow song. Though laces with uncomfortable and nearly forgotten memories, for me personally the Gallop song fulfills today’s challenge as it reminds me of summertime.

Life in general was different back in summer 2020 and the world was hesitantly waking up from the pandemic induced paralysis. Years later, we are almost back to where we were. We’ve learnt nothing from it all, or the few things we did, were quickly and easily forgotten and dismissed. The world is in a worse state than it was before the pandemic. People are sicker, greedier, more selfish than before. Politics are failing everywhere in the world. The rich are getting richer while the poor are fighting for their lives. It’s just… it makes me angry. It makes me mad. We might as well be marching toward the sun.

A bit of a heavier song for this Sunday. Still, enjoy it, and consider joining in on the fun. Which song reminds you of summertime?
