I stopped listening to it because I made the “mistake” of dedicating it to my then girlfriend. I had always wanted to dedicate the song to someone, it never crossed my mind that things would not end well. When we broke up I deleted the song from my playlist and regretfully stopped listening to it, the memories it was associated with were too painful.
Recently I am trying to reconnect with the song. The memories are still there, but now they are warm and bearable, melancholic but sweet.
I once set the hook to “Freddie the freeloader” as the ringtone on my flip-phone. Big mistake; for years I associate that amazing song with the annoyance of answering the phone.
