This morning I ran 6km to Spoon's "I Summon You" on auto-repeat. There's a line that goes: "Remember the weight of the world/ It's a sound that we used to buy/ On cassette and 45".
Have you ever wondered, if you listen to a song looping forever, won't that song change you somehow?
In that case, everytime I run, I undergo a metamorphosis.
On the other hand, Kate Bush's latest album includes a song titled "Pi". On it, she recited decimal places, and I laughed because I could cross-check these numbers in my head while listening to the song. I wonder if she has learnt to sing this song without looking at the lyrics? Do Kate Bush and I have something in common now? Is this my song or what?
