Subconsious

Today I had an epiphany.
I was talking to Paul about a work related issue and when we were done I walked away. Now, that in it itself is no big deal. I talk to Paul all the time. I often call him PVD, his nickname. As I was walking away I realized that I had the song, “Walk On” in my head by U2. A great song, yes-—but the weird thing was that I hadn’t heard that song in like a month! I started to ask myself where that came from. I thought back to the month before where I heard it. I realized that the band had played that in church one beautiful Sunday morning and behind them was a video. “Oh yeah”, I exclaimed in my head, “I was in that video.” Matter of fact I had filmed that video with Paul in Chicago.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that the song “Walk On” by U2 is now associated with PVD? Maybe. Could it be that the weird songs that I wake up with in my head (Pet Shop Boys, U2, R.E.M.) are all from my subconscious? Maybe even certain people evoke a song or maybe even a smell? It is weird to think that my brain can do something without me even knowing about it. So the next time you have a song in your head ask yourself “What evoked that?” Who knows it could be that you heard it as you were walking your sister’s twice removed niece’s Great Aunt’s dog!
