Have you ever heard a song, but never really heard the song until something happens and then you understand it on a whole another level? Do you think that's possible with Jazz?
i agree with takkara. on the flipside some songs can't transcend that initial meaning or association. i have deleted beautiful songs off of my iPod cause they remind me of people or moments i'm intent on forgetting
there was a song that i absolutely adored and played overandover again when my beloved returned home after a summer of smittenness. the funny thing was, there was this one word that i didn't understand although i was always listening to it. when he passed away five years later, i finally understood the sentence that had puzzled me for so long. she sang, "sometimes i feel like a child in love."
this lyric didn't need to make sense to me until it was time to understand it on a different level. music can be magic that way.

Yes!!!
Me'shell N'degeocello's "Fool of Me" on her Bitter album. When she sings:
I've allowed you to make me feel /
I feel so dumb / what kind of fool am I? / you so easily set me aside
I've had that album for at least four years and it's only hit me in the last couple of months...
you say don't touch you / I can't touch you no more / can't touch you anymore / anymore
