what?
"Did you write the book of love? And do you have faith in God above? If the Bible tells you so..."
It was February 3rd, 2026. The world was supposed to feel normal again. But the song hadn't played on mainstream radio in years. Not the full version. Not at 2:17 AM.
put on the radio. like right now.
barely. why?
I texted my mom. She sent back a voice memo. She was crying softly. "Your grandfather used to sing this to me," she said. "He said it was about the day the music died. But I don't think he meant Buddy Holly."
yeah. what the hell.

I turned the radio back on. Static.
I fumbled for the clock radio on my nightstand. Static hissed for a second, then that familiar piano intro cut through.
so the song's about forgetting. about losing something pure. but maybe... maybe it's also a warning. and it just played for the whole country at once. If the Bible tells you so
"A long, long time ago... I can still remember how that music used to make me smile..."
you hearing this??
