This song has been stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Actually, most days I always have an andymori song stuck in my head. They're too addictive, lovable, amazing, talented, and all other awesome words you can possibly describe a band.
Moving on.

Have you ever had that feeling where you look at a photograph of your old self, say 5-10 years ago (maybe even a year ago), and you feel a bit detached from it? You were there. You know it happened. But that you years back is so distant now and even if you remember the details, you still stare in wonder and think, "Oh yea, that's actually me huh?" And I'm not just talking about how it feels unbelievable how much of a drastic change you've gone through without noticing -- surely that's one thing. But.
But...just that feeling that you can never get that moment back and it will never happen again. Those few seconds in which you are posing for the camera, alone or most likely with other people (friends, family, etc.) and that moment, that event in which this is all taking place -- you can never get it back. And when you look back at it now, it almost feels like it was just a dream, that point in time. In that sense, photographs bring about a sense of nostalgia and in some cases a little bit of pain too. Perhaps pain from missing that moment, or from realizing that you're all grown up/you've changed/you're not the same anymore/you won't ever see the people in these photos again, etc, etc.
I'm probably not making much sense.
