Songs are always the best tools to record history. With every bits of bitter and sweet, the songs stores all the memories we have.

Spent this afternoon listening to some old songs and reminiscing the good old days. The songs that we listen to in the past was just so memorable. I doubt the teens of today will enjoy what we used to listen to. Groups like S club 7, backstreet boys, westlife, Spicegirls, A1 and even MLTR. Chinese artist like Sky Wu, Wu qi xian, Andy lau and Richie Ren. There is a different set of memory for every single era or genre of music.

Strange enough, with every different memory that scans by a different group of friends zoomed pass. Some that share a fond memory when we were still kids and some is those who share a closer bond when we were teens. All these are deeply entrenched within our heart. Music is the best way to store these good times besides photographs. After all, it is not always that we can put our memories on a glossy paper. Cameras are not as popular an item as it is now.

We can easily get lost while listening to all these memorable songs. Without knowing, we can easily spent hours indulging in this melodious tone. Different from what we are used to now, the music of the past are more soft and slow. The lyrics brings more emotion than the music. With ever line, a different feeling surge through our heart. It just seem so miraculous how these music can move our heart.

But now, it is hardly possible to find such memories in the present day music. With all the rock and hip hop, the feeling is totally different. It is not the old warm and touching feeling but a new kind of hatred, anger and sorrow. It seems that songs featuring friendship, love and fun times are all outdated. People just think that we are old, outdated and not trendy when we are listening to these music. But often, it is this music that can last the trial of time. For example, Peng you by zhou hua jian. How many have not heard this song before? I can safely say not many.

Let us all just take this opportunity to find a song that we can relate to. A different song for a different memory. Maybe we can find one that you and me share.
