The song that stopped you mid-task
You know the one. You were washing dishes, or sitting in an auto with your earphones in, or half-asleep at midnight, and a song came on and you had to put everything down. Not because it was loud. Because something in it found you before you could prepare a defense. You didn't feel sad exactly. You felt like sadness had always been there, waiting, and the song gave it a room to stand in.
