And then there was music all around...
It's amazing how a song can take you back to a place in time long forgotten, or at least buried a bit in the recesses of your mind.
I'm listening to Launchcast on Yahoo, 1990's alternative. I am happy. Jane's Addiction, Fiona Apple, Pearl Jam, U2, Better Than Ezra, Nirvana, Bush...music that peppered my adolescence. I was 13 in 1990 and 22 when the decade ended. This music takes me back to when I was a teenager, spending hours in my room drinking in the sounds emminating from my radio like it was gospel. This music accompanied my rebellion, my angst, my anger. It was the soundtrack to my life, my best friend, my escape and solice. Despite the two gray hairs I found on my head yesterday, this 30 year old feels 15 again, raging against conformity and defying what every adult out there told me I should be. I remember with bittersweetness the careless and carefree days of youth, the feeling that I can and will live forever, and the hope I felt for each tomorrow, for tomorrow would be the day I would set the world on fire.
Thank you, music of the 90's, for reminding me that I am still alive.
