The Movies In Our Brains

'Cause someday we must return the movies in our brains, And these moments we can't fake, Yes, the angels never leak the expiration date

"'Cause someday we must return the movies in our brains
And these moments we can't fake
Yes, the angels never leak the expiration date"

-Mt. Joy, "Bathroom Light"

This song has been on repeat, or close to it, this week. The tune is catchy and this phrase, the only stanza in the lyrics I could actually understand, played with my emotions.

I loved the ideas of "movies in our brain." It felt so right. I feel like my mind is constantly playing movies — dreaming about the next adventure and trying to project what it will look like, feel like, and how it might change. Movies of things I plan to do at work and how they might look when they come to fruition. Movies about my family, things that happened in the past, things I hope happen in the future.
