A Voice for the Lonely
Corey first learned of Roy Orbison’s death from radio at 4 a.m. The author admired radio did not talk too much about Roy Orbison’s death, but cut straight into “Only the Lonely”. This song lets the author remind many things about his past life. “Some songs carry us into a certain mood, some to a general region of our past lives.” “Only the Lonely” reminds him what he was doing when he was in high school. This is what the immediate effect of the news on Corey was.
When one song seemed to capture my feeling exactly, it must be have really wonderful lyrics. Of course, I had a song to capture my feeling exactly; it talked about a face what happen when children grow up. Its lyric was explaining what my feeling, so it made that song so appealing. When I heard the song, I will think about my childhood. In that time, I do not need to worry anything, but just play. However, after I grew up, I need to think about what I can do next, which majors are better for me, and how can find a good job, and so on. All of that are what I need to think everyday. Actually, that song also said when children grow up, their parents did not take care them any more. I heard a song and liked it could explain what I was thinking about. Thus, I was more moved by the lyrics than the tune. Hearing this song still affects my today, because I still need to make decisions for many things and I also very miss my childhood.

I was always curious which sense among five senses of taste, hearing, sight,smell, and touch can most arouse my memory. For a long time caring about this curiosity, I finally found it's hearing.
Your feeling about hearing a touching song makes me find the common between us. I love this feeling, and it's beautiful in my mind. When I write some stories about my childhood or my teenage, I like to listen the songs I listened in that era. When I hear a familiar old song, I can smell the past.
For the future, indeed, we lose much happiness as childhood. However, if it's the inevitable growth we should face to, why not receive and challenge it? There are other delight as an adult, such as responsible for the society, and to be respectable person. You also can keep your heart young!
