As they say, music comes directly into your heart. Yes. For a couple of these days, I have experienced it while surfing the Net, where I have bumped into a couple of tunes I used to listen to quite a lot in my youth.

Among them, the following two are especially impressive: the former is a love song, while the latter is a life song. In both, the lyrics hit my mind, whereas the tone of their voices and the melody of the tunes grab my soul and spirit. Indeed, good old songs bring back my memories, good or bad.

音楽は心に直接響くと言われる。ここ数日、ネットサーフィンをしていて、若い頃によく聴いていた曲と再開することがあった。

ここでは２つだけ紹介しよう。前者はラブソングで、後者はライフソング。いずれも、歌詞は脳に響き、声のトーンやメロディーは心と魂に響く。古き良き時代の音楽はいい思い出も悪い思い出も引き連れてくるものだ。
