Nosferatu

Formerly named Lost Melodies

I hear the whispered echo of a melody I once knew. It graces the edges of my memory and beckons my attention like a speck on the horizon. I know it's there. I feel it's presence and yet I cannot find it. I know how it felt. Slightly repetitive, which led me to stash it away. It would always get stuck in my head, remaining there for days. There's something of sand within it's lyrics... Or maybe just walking. Boots? I know the odd beach I pictured when I listened to it. I see the shoes and I hear the echo again but in the recesses of my memory it stays. It's one of those songs that slipped through the cracks. Heard before I recorded all the songs I'd ever given my attention. I know there are so many yet to be rediscovered but this one in particular I want to know once more.

A single strand of spider silk in a jungle. That's what it feels like I'm looking for. If I said a needle in a haystack it wouldn't cover it right. A needle is shiny and visible if you take your time and look patiently. It might even prick your finger without your eyes to spot it. This silk strand is only visible in  a certain light, at a certain angle. It's damn near invisible and still there's a specific feeling that that song made me feel. Yet, in this journey trying to remember, I've found so many more songs, beautiful and interesting. I hold out hope that I'll yet hear it again but until then, it fuels my musical exploration in it's entirety.

Another. An aggressive pink and lime green. Watermelon. Very prominent female singer and perhaps murder was in the lyrics somewhere. Would have gone in my "queen" playlist presently.
