Maze in the Mirror is my favorite track on the new album. Every time I listen to it, I feel like I am being wrapped in a hug. It’s so soothing. The little runs and odd keys just make me fall in love again every time I hear it. The song feels so bittersweet, and it just resonates with where I am right now. The fact that the boys wrote this song only solidifies it’s importance to me. I cannot believe how talented they are. Thank you for such an amazing song.
Music is powerful because it hurts. It actually, very physically hurts. It feels like a thick balloon is inflating behind your chest and it's spreading to your stomach and arms and fingers and you want to curl into yourself as if that will stop it from growing but it continues on. The nostalgia will only ever be nostalgia. The weekly visits with a friend are now barely even a text every few months. The fandom you dedicated your life to is barely even a passing thought anymore. The ideas that ran through your head now gather dust as a forgotten word document. Life is better, sure, but life used to have them. Why couldn't life be better and still keep them?
This would have never happened if you hadn’t listened to that music. But oh how beautiful those memories are, and there's a smile on your face despite the balloon threatening to pop if you listen a moment longer.
