September

Of all the things I still remember, summer’s never looked the same/

Years go by and time just seems to fly, but the memories remain .

--Daughtry, “September”

Most of the lyrics that stand out in this song remind me of a relationship that I have or have had with different people. This line of the song makes me think of the relationship with my best friend. She moved to California two years ago and time has flown by. We do not get to speak to each other as often as we’d like, but when we do speak, we do a lot of reminiscing. I think it is also saying that no matter how long it will be, the memories will always be there. That’s something my friend and I always remember and rely on.

Reflecting now on how things could’ve been, it was worth it in the end

This lyric reminds me of the relationship between my dad and I. We used to be pretty close until about two years ago. Ever since then, I have seen many different sides of him. I have also grown up more and can different sides of him compared to what I could see when I was younger. Now looking at it from a more mature perspective, sometimes I think that maybe it was better that we aren’t as close as used to be.
