Theme song -You hurt me to my soul

There are some times, some particular situations, or certain phases, when a song or more like few of its lines keep playing back in your head, it happens or maybe is more noticeable during any written exam that I am sitting through, i still remember the first time i noticed it, it was in the 9th standard, history paper, and from then on i guess i got used to it, cause I don’t remember it getting loud in my head until i started sitting for university papers. What I presume is that it is inversely proportional to my preparedness or concentration at exams, as I remember in 9th especially, I was in love with history, i loved facts, so i just stuck to the point and always handed over a short and crisp paper, way ahead of anybody. And as for my university papers, I had to struggle through every minute of it, to keep my mind on the exam instead of contemplating when should I leave, or should I leave college altogether, my brain would spin out a series of badly-timed vicious questions, which stamp a why in front of every fundamental rule of life, which we have adopted unknowingly from the moment they were imparted to us.

Coming back to theme songs, as I have now started calling them, though they never remotely seem to fit the mood, but I have assumed them to have become tame and ruly as the last time I was sitting on the dentists chair and wondering why doesn’t he just drill through my head and get it over with, pops the song,”you hurt me to my soul”. The fact that for once the song didn’t ridicule the situation around, unlike when I would be sitting for PU papers and an upcoming bollywood movie’s song starts playing, I guess very obviously reflecting my overdose of latest movie trailers.
