There are so many songs I could have picked, but I chose this one because it reminds me of Kevin and I working together in Wrightwood, or playing Scrabble, or me reading through &#8220;My Show&#8221; folder, which was where he saved anything he wanted me to see.  (That started in 2001 or 2003.  I can&#8217;t recollect if it was 9\/11 or the fall of Baghdad that prompted the folder to be created.  I do know we were still in Toluca Lake.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to romantic relationships, art shared and enjoyed by both becomes a part of your unique lexicon.  It builds some sort of sense memory that ideally brings out a little dopamine.  At least while the times are good.   Metheny was one of ours.  I also found it quite delightful to dance around to this song after ingesting a bit o&#8217; mary jane.  (I learned about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5rhythms.com\/gabrielle-roths-5rhythms\/what-are-the-5rhythms\/\">5 rhythyms<\/a> a few years before in college, and jazz fusion is soooo lyrical! But this isn&#8217;t the place for THAT tangent!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sense memory does grief a huge disservice sometimes.  There have been times over the past 9 years that I&#8217;ve bawled my eyes out to this song and others when it&#8217;s lifted my spirits.  (All these songs, probably.) It&#8217;ll continue to be a favorite, and I guess I&#8217;ll feel whatever feels I need to feel when it fills my ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5-5-7, Pat Metheny Group, Letter From Home I will forever associate Pat Metheny with Kevin because he&#8217;s the one who would download random songs featuring this wonderful jazz guitarist and play them for me.
