This album/song is very personal to me. I knew a woman named Andrea who was older (~20-21 at the time, I was 17-18) I worked at Kroger and she would deliver beer and stuff. We ended up having a short weird relationship thing even though she had a serious boyfriend I did not know about. Anyway she introduced me to post-Talking heads byrne, along with Kraftwerk. I have a weird nostalgia for that time.
It's amazing how much music can transport you back to a time and place. Obviously, this song carries with it something for you that it never will for me. -that's pretty awesome.
That's why (although seriously lacking) i did #mydadsrecordcollection. All of this music we listen to acts like an emotional timestamp, if you let yourself be a bit vulnerable while listening it can make you remember details that you wouldn't others. Good feelings, bad, apathy. I love revisiting older music and listening to other people's stories. I feel like its such an essential way to communicate.
Yeah to all of that. It's even more accute with songs you've written. A while back I write and recorded the below. The lyrics are all taken from a poem that humanodon wrote. It made me remember a vibrant, creative time of collaboration. I could see my studio, the setup and recalled my family life at the time. It's like a time capsule.
