Description

Write a song about the unreliable nature of memory and the different ways people experience and recall the same event, using the following quotes as inspiration: "remember this IMPORTANT THING", "reverse birthday", "important: remember the thing with the guy", "watched people trying to merge for 20 minutes and realized we're all just cavemen with smartphones", "we all turn into territorial animals when someone tries to merge", and "I was thinking about this the other day! Traffic is like the ultimate test of human nature". The song should explore how even seemingly insignificant moments can become distorted and reinterpreted over time, with each person involved having a completely different version of what occurred. The song could also touch on how technology, specifically smartphones, has changed the way we experience and remember events, perhaps making us more focused on documentation than actual presence. It should focus on the humor and absurdity of conflicting memories, highlighting the gap between what we think we remember and what actually happened.
