While we are being so open and baring our souls

Here's anothe sympton of being "nuts" that I sometimes exhibit: Sometimes I will go for quite a while without listening a GL tune. Then, when I hear it gain, a song may leap out and hit me hard, just like it was brand new to me, even though I've known the song existed for years. It's just that it will mean something new to me years later. It's like rediscovering a work of art and I have to play it on the guitar again, again and again, just like it was a new discovery. Most recently this has happened when listening to the songs:

Thank You for the Promises
The Gypsy
Heaven Help the Devil
Now and Then
Protocol

Is there a cure for this? Or should I just sit back and enjoy the illness?
