About This Quote

When a young girl is a young girl, she will believe in magic. To her, listening to music is like being in a fairytale. The music will make her feel happy and bring up memories of times when she was a child. But if she is to grow up and be a woman, the magic will fade.

When she is older, most likely with a job and responsibilities, her life will not revolve around music. No longer will it be a fairytale that brings up the past but rather a part of everyday life.
