I didn't listen to enough bach in the womb, I guess

what was that name of that girl who sang
that thing in the pink dress?
you cry every time you hear it
even though it's silly
it's beautiful too

or that guy... with the songs
he wrote about the end of times?
he was french or some shit
where was my mind
when I heard these things

I can't even tell you
how the overture to marriage of figaro goes
even though I listened to it yesterday
or why I thought that bald mountain song
from fantasia was about a funeral

if I'm overcome with emotion
when I hear beautiful music
but can't remember it later
how can it leave a mark on me?
