Cover art for Song for a Blue Guitar lyrics by Red House Painters

The first verse kills me because it hits so close to home. I know too many songs that are no longer as pleasant to hear as they once were. Those songs bring up memories of the past and create a dissonance in attitude. What may have been a cheery or lovely song now resonates in an ugly way. The once happy music conflicts with my altered perspective or soul as he sings.
