this SONG
"Miss Blacktop" came up on shuffle a few minutes ago and it was like POW. It was like I had been knocked to the ground and when I opened my eyes, I was looking up to the brightest blue sky and I could hear balls hitting gloves and Mr. T's laughter and I could smell the spring breeze coming down from the mountains and I was wearing cleats and everything good, everything perfect was in the harmonies. It was amazing. It was spring again! Spring 2008, before anything bad happened.
And then I blinked, and I was back in the drafty library, in 2009, on a day where it is most certainly going to snow, wearing mary janes instead of cleats and shivering, surrounded by freshmen and very much Mr. T-less.
And that's why I love this song. It transports me.
I categorize all my music by when I listened to it overandoverandover. Others from my Spring 08 list--
Timebomb--Beck (Reminds me of watching the Parkway rush by on the way to a game.)
Body Body-- CSCN (And suddenly I'm back in 3rd period Seminar with my old music teacher and I was never doing my homework but listening to this music.)
nothing else good.
Maybe I'll share some more of my time-period playlists.
