The time capsule, discovered buried in the garden, held a collection of music tapes and lyrics. Liam, his fingers tracing the worn plastic cases, felt a gentle caress in his mind. He recognized the melodies, each song a memory he didn't possess. As he listened, his shoulders relaxed, his lips curving into a soft smile. He felt a deep appreciation for the shared emotion captured in the music; a powerful feeling of comfort and connection. He imagined all the little details that had been captured within the music.
