EM Topic # 11 – Write about your “theme song” and why it speaks to you.

Music has been so important in my life. I learned to play the harp at a young age and with that I also learned to sing. There were always the traditional songs from my mother’s homeland of Scotland, then there were the Fae songs, too. Sometimes they tend to go into long epic pieces. Wherever I have gone, I have found that music opens doorways and speaks in a language that is universal.

I don’t usually listen to rock and roll, preferring rather classical or even traditional music, but this particular song really spoke to me because those of us who are Immortal in one way or another often find ourselves contemplating the impermanence of the people and places of things around us – and yet we remain. I suppose the meaning I ascribe to this song really was not what the artist had intended. I wonder if I wrote to them if they would be able to view it from my perspective. At any rate, this song reminds me so much of the conversations that I have had with friends, lovers, my consort, and even my own children.

It’s our world
Time moves on
And time moves on
In our world
