Do you ever get a song that makes you nostalgic? I remembered overplaying this song when I first moved out to Pomona for college. I have a tendency to exhaust any songs that fit my liking, so for the whole winter-quarter this track would be the one sound that frequently came out of my ipod, iphone, and macbook speakers. I played it in my white matrix on the way to Cal Poly; getting fast food; walking to class; lying in bed; shooting hoops with a couple friends; and doing my daily runs around the neighborhood soccer field. It would be on when I spent hours studying and joking around with my engineering buddies in the CPP library. It was virtually everywhere, call it a healthy obsession. That winter quarter I remembered it raining exceptionally, quite unusual for Southern California weather. The dense overcast, sudden rainfalls, and chilled winter air briefly gave the illusion I was back in my beloved New York City, twas’ refreshing. Such distinct recollection could result from a combination of the all senses being heightened, when the mundaneness of a typical forecast was no longer a problem, for that winter the weather had become unpredictable, and that delightful feeling one gets from fancying something, and in this case, a song that made past moments seemed traceable. Interesting how one song could bring back such fond memories.
