挪威的森林

hi penny
my only reader
a story is as good as a memory
this song is for you


i recently came across this song and in particular, this version of the song. it left me enthralled and as i dug deeper, i found out that it was written inspired by the Murakami novel, Norwegian Wood.

i read this novel years ago when i knew nothing better (haha), and it too blew my mind. but as i read more murakami, i began to detest his work, for he did nothing other than to write sad, pointless stories just to fuck with clueless minds.

he did this very well, i'm not contesting. murakami writes the saddest, most emotionally draining stories i've had the misfortune to read. but at the end of it all, i ask myself, what is the point of these stories?

but penny, this song is for you. this song tweaked a little something within me that i didn't know existed, and it has been on repeat for the past month. i'm not sure if you understand the lyrics (i didn't too, had to google) but perhaps you can feel it. these feelings linger in the spacees between logic and emotion, the more you try to make sense of them, the more they fade away.
