Could you save yourself?

Lately I've fallen into this habit of assigning songs to people or events. Typically it would be a song that I had not heard before, one that the person in question had introduced to me. The positive of this trait is that I end up having a new favorite obsession, and if it's a popular song, I get that little pick-me-up that comes with hearing it on the radio when you're not expecting it. The negative is that if things should go sour between me and the person in question (which tends to happen with me...I tend to fail in the relationship department), then the song is forever ruined for me.

It's kind of strange, really, the way I assign such meaning and significance to something so otherwise ambiguous. Like Dig, by Incubus. Last fall, I listened to almost nothing else. And parts of it fit, I suppose. At least for a while. This season the song is Save Yourself by Sense Field. Listen to it, but don't laugh at me. It fits, in some strange way. At least, for now.
