  • This reminds me how I used to listen to The Beatles as a kid, long before I learnt English. I did know roughly what the songs are about, but I didn’t understand most of the words. I did burn the lyrics deep into my brain by repeat listening, as just sounds.

    Then decades later - I’m going somewhere by subway and suddenly I remember She’s Leaving Home and play it back in my head after years of not thinking about it. And I realise I can understand (and remember!) every word as it comes up in mind, truly understanding the song for the very first time.

    I ended up bursting into tears right there, since it’s so emotional. That was such a cool experience.
