 PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 96 - COMMON SCENTS video and song

Pawpaw loves Connor, Bryson and Archer forever!

It is January 2025. I have just finished releasing my song COMMON SCENTS. As you'll see and hear, the lyrics are from a poem I wrote about how we can stumble across a certain aroma and our minds will go back in time to some forgotten but special memory,

I love you,

  Pawpaw

Common Scents (lyrics)

By Steven Skelley

 

The aroma of jasmine in the Spring air

Transports me through space and time

To my Grandma Mary's flower garden

A moment when she was all mine

 

Common scents spark my memories

Common scents bring you back to me

Common scents make me feel things that I need

How I wish I had more common scents

 

An unknown man passes by me

His cologne tingles my nose

Suddenly I am a child again

In Dad's barbershop tapping my toes

 

Common scents spark my memories

Common scents bring you back to me

Common scents make me feel things that I need

How I wish I had more common scents

 

Isn't it strange that my silly nose

Is not just two oxygen vents

It's a random access time machine

Triggered by common scents

 

I wish that I had more common scents

The ones that make me remember

Special people, places and feelings

Memories both joyous and tender

 

Common scents spark my memories

Common scents bring you back to me

Common scents make me feel things that I need

How I wish I had more common scents
