I'm naive, I'll understand.

There’s this song that I keep listening to: Regret from New Order. It was released around ‘93 or ‘94. That’s more than 10 years ago. I wonder why I still haven’t gotten sick of the song. Maybe it’s the bass lines.I’m sure the band’s still playing this song in their concerts. If they’re still playing, that is. They must be in their ’50s by now. What was I doing in ‘93? ‘94? I was still in high school at that time. Could I say that everything was simpler back then? Then again, I guess everything is simpler when you’re younger.

Perhaps at some point, every person would want to rewind to some significant event in their life. Me, I look at photographs taken 40 or 80 years ago, and I wonder what it was like to have lived at that time. There’s this picture, which might have been shot before the 2nd World War, of a group of employees(probably a company picture taking) from Meralco. You could tell that it was the real thing, from the creases on the photograph. And, you could also say that the folks in the picture resembles your grandfathers. Except for their clothes and haircuts, I suppose they’d fit right in our time. Or maybe not. I wonder, what were on their minds when the picture was taken? Do you think they’re still alive today? Any, if at all? What was it like to live in a time different that the one we’re used to?
