I was listening to some music the other day. any you all know how one song takes you back all the way? You dont' just sing along to it, but you might actually see what you were doing when that song was new, playing on the radio. All these moments go in your head and it seems so real. The moments may be fun, boring, happy, sad.. but they are just so vivid that you can't help but think about them.
Listening to the beastie boys "ill communication" makes me think of one specific event, sitting on the grassy hill by the tennis courts duing tennis season of sophomore year. I can remember that it was about 75 degrees, partly cloudy , and a bit breezy. I remember it was a friday and it was so cool because I had no homework. I remember being nervous for my game so Christian gave me the cd to get pumped up. I still lost, but I wasn't nervous..
I also remember boyz 2 men. "yesterday" It was the summer after 8th grade. I can see myself in the doorway to my best friend Brandon's dad's apartment singing along to the song to a girl on the phone. it was a dark, hot, humid night.. the kind of night where its just humid and hot enough to make you sweat, but it wasn't sweaty enough to necessarily bother wiping it off. I remember all the bugs crowding around the entryway light and trying to fend off mosquitos. I also remember feeling really stupid after singing that song to the girl, but I also remember that I "went out " with her afterwards.
I should listen to old music more often and see what other memories the songs might trigger.
Do you guys have any songs that trigger memories?  ¶ 5/08/2002 06:13:00 AM
