“Change your heart

Look around you

Change your heart

It will astound you

I need your lovin'

Like the sunshine

Everybody's gotta learn sometime

Everybody's gotta learn sometime

Everybody's gotta learn sometime.”

Earlier today I watched the movie “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” again. The last time I watched it was, well maybe five years ago, but it is a movie that I enjoy watching every now and then despite the fact that it is a very sad movie. Or maybe just because of this fact.

The basic idea of this movie is something that has crossed my mind a couple of times too, the ability of erasing memories. In some ways it would be great to be able to erase the memory of something traumatic that has happened in your life or erase the memories of someone who broke your heart.

But thinking twice I doubt that I would really like to do that. It may sound weird but I do believe it would be hard to appreciate the things in life that are really good and enjoyable if you never ever had to experience rough times.

Beck – Everybody’s gotta learn sometimes is found on the movie soundtrack “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” released in 2004. The original version was recorded by The Korgis in 1980.
