Before switching my
digital library to the Mini-SD Card in my phone, I went through a couple
different MP3 players. The first I had was my favorite.
I bought it at Best
Buy, and it had a nice sized digital screen. It lasted a long time even though its
limited storage size meant I think I had to stick around a thousand songs
uploaded.
When it eventually
died, I bought a new MP3 player online. It was shaped a lot like Apple’s I-Pod,
and it was red. The screen was smaller, and I don’t remember liking it as much
as the first one even though I think it had more memory.
It also came with a
handful of uploaded songs. I assume it was some sort of deal struck by the artist’s
record companies and whoever made the MP3 player. None of the artists were
brand names, and as far as I know, none of the songs became hit singles.
This song was one of
them, and no matter how many songs I put on, this would be the first to play
whenever I reset the shuffle. Most of the time I skipped it, but I always
listened to the opening piano chords. They are simple but striking.
When I moved to the
Mini-SD card, I moved this song and the others over. I am not sure why, other
than I guess it serves as a reminder of where I come from in my musical
journey.
