When I listen to “Burn” by Ellie Goulding (that’s very random haha) it takes me back to a very specific moment.

About 10 years ago I was heartbroken over a guy (silly me, but a nice one so it’s fine). I was at that stage when I’d wake up sad and go to bed depressed. It was unbearable at times.

That day I put that song directly when I woke up and started dancing and… wasn’t sad. For 20 seconds. Then I remembered I was sad. So I decided to postpone my sadness until the end of the song and keep dancing in the meantime (and let it burn - I’m quite dramatic haha).

The song ended. I resumed being sad. I took me longer than I’d admit to stop being sad.

But sometimes for 3 min 51 seconds I’d pause.
