ABOUT LOVE

About Love 
This is how it starts: "I will star to write a letter, about love and peaceful moments by
your side". 'About Love' it is the name of the song I am going to write about. Why is
this song so important to me? It has to do mostly with my memories and feelings. The song
reminds me a period of time in my life when I was not old enough to understand its
meaning. It is very difficult to describe feelings, thus they have to do with your
personality, life, destiny and past. This song became one of my favorites not a long time
ago though. About Love is not what may seem to indicate the actual meaning of the lyrics
and the memories related to it in particular. The story begins in airplane. I was going
back to United States from my motherland. I was sixteen years old and it was my first
visit to my native country since I left it in 1992. In summer1992, my family and I moved
to Mexico. After three and a half years spent in Mexico I moved to U.S. where I am
pursuing a college education majoring in Music Education. Going back to the topic, I
remember how desperate I was, I could not wait to go back to U.S. There was
nothing-special going on throughout my fly except the movie that I watched. There was
nothing left to do but sleeping or staring into the TV screen right in front of you. I
liked the movie a lot, even though, I did not watch it from the beginning and not knowing
its name, nothing about it. But, there was something else in it that made me remember it
for a long time: the song. The song was great. I loved it so much that I started a search
on it being already in U.S. After several months of research, I still could not find out
the name of the group. I lost hope, I quite my search without forgetting about its
existence. Year and I half have passed since I watched for first time a movie with that
unforgettable song in it. 
Later on, I met one fellow who originally is from the same country where I am from. Later
on he invited me for a party. Than we started to watch a movie which from the mere
beginning made me experience an effect called "De-Gea-Vu', that is like I have seen this
movie before but I do not remember where and when. I told it to my friend without really
believing in what I was saying. But suddenly I recognized the artist and the pot of the
movie. It was exactly that movie which I saw on my trip back to U.S; the one with the
famous song in it. I started to exclaim and wonder how is that possible that I did not
recognize it from the beginning. It was an unforgettable moment. I was really lucky and
optimistic about it. On the other hand, I was pretty sad after all, because, the movie
and specially that old song which was playing in my head for almost two years, recalled
those insignificant hours which I spent on the plain, watching the movie that has made a
strong affection on me. The 'powerful' lyrics, has changed my life. They helped me to
understand and believe both in my country and myself. 
Last summer, I finally went back, for visiting purpose only, to the country where I was
born. This time I knew I am not going to live without the CD in my pocket. I still did
not know much about that song arriving there, but it did not last for long; I bought the
CD with my favorite song on it called "About Love".
