Oh my god. I just got the new Barenaked Ladies album "Barenaked Ladies Are Me" and I already love it sooo effing much.
Barenaked Ladies make me so nastalgec. Whenever I listen to them (Old or new) I always think back to Refiguo. I think of Josh and Heidi and Gretchen and Roya and EthanBrianBenTristanClancyWill and Lucas and EVERYONE. Running around in trench coats and throwing little kids (turned out to be Ingrid) into ice plants. Running around on life guard towers singing fiddler on the roof. God I did a lot of running for someone who doesn't run a lot. Barenaked Ladies remind me of Kevin and think about getting my lincense and driving to the bridge to no where in that shitty little white car (that ended up dying SOOO quickly...I wonder what happened to that car) and parking, getting out and getting this overwhelming sense of freedom. Barenaked Ladies remind me of youth group. Watching But, I'm a Cheerleader and Eyes Wide Shut and knowing this was years before I should actually be seeing any of this. Barenaked Ladies remind me of Jacqui Brown. Barenaked Ladies remind me of doing Granda shows, running around (again with the running!) backstage and waging war on the "baby sitters" we had and falling asleep and missing whole scenes, and Kit! God I miss Kit! Barenaked Ladies (paticullary Maybe You Should Drive) reminds me of dating Claire, walking with Eli to Claire's house and finding glasses on the railroad tracks and again feeling a lot older than I actually was, I'm sure it showed.
Barenaked Ladies do all that. And if you were wondering, that's why I love them so much.
