<p>I’m not an avid music fan.<br />
I listen to it like every other person on the planet.<br />
But I don’t follow the latest trends.<br />
Or know the intricacies behind composition.<br />
Music is just something that’s been around, always in the background.<br />
In every moment of my life, usually a different song for each.<br />
Meaning I can go back to any part of my life, all it takes is finding that song again.<br />
And I find myself doing this a lot recently.<br />
I had an easy and simple childhood, and I yearn for those days.<br />
Sometimes I need an escape when the stress is too great.<br />
And there’s always a song for that occasion.<br />
It takes some digging, but I can always find my way back.<br />
It doesn’t have to be a complex or deep song.<br />
It doesn’t even need to have lyrics.<br />
Its only requirement is that it played in that time.<br />
So I can just forget about any problems and travel back in time.<br />
One such song has been on my mind recently.<br />
It involves a clock tower and traveling back in time.<br />
That one has been with me since my earliest memory.<br />
So it’s the most oddly appropriate song for that occasion.<br />
I know I’ll have to return to the present eventually.<br />
But for now, I’ll stay here until the next due date.<a title="clock-darrah" href="https://butlerlanternnewspaper.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/clock-darrah.pdf">clock-darrah</a></p>
