Magic moments

[brightly_lit]

Something straight-up magical happened today. I took a nap afterward, and when I woke up, I was like, did that really happen, or was that a dream? BUT IT REALLY HAPPENED.

septembers_coda, it's time to take a drive.

OMG, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! What an awesome thing to have happen! Indeed, those "dream come true" moments are much harder to come by these days, and this post brought back the feeling of them so vividly. We'll have to hop in the car soon... <3

TONIGHT IS DRIVE TIME. :-) In addition to needing to hear this, I need to go to the library! Can't wait!!! <3 <3

IT WAS A GOOD DRIVE. :-D

Niiiiiice!!!!!! That's awesome, I'm so happy for you. :) I think the only analogue I can think of personally is when you read/see a thing and then some long time later you try to remember what that thing was... and Googling randomly, asking around, etc., gets you NOWHERE. But then one day you see the thing and you're like OH MY GOD IT'S THE THING, IT'S THE THIIIIIIIING.

The three ones I most remember are Look Who's Talking 2 (which lol my mother helped me out with because apparently she can ID this ridiculous movie within on sentence of me describing it), The Quick and the Dead, and the book, The Bronze Bow. LIFE CHANGING REDISCOVERIES, even though I have literally no intimate connection to any one of those things. Just knowing what they were called was such a relief, though! XD So I can only imagine the epicness of uncovering something you, you know, actually want!

:DDDDD

See, that's the thing--there are a few extremely obscure songs/videos from back then that I still haven't been able to find, because indeed, Googling what little I remember isn't getting me anywhere--I'm still holding out for this one video I only saw a couple of times, which I'm going to try to Google again now ...

Then there's the video I wrote to the local video-playing program begging them to play, and when I found it on YouTube recently ... I saw why they refused to play it. WORST. VIDEO. EVER. But it was my favorite baaaaand ....

It's the best when someone else remembers something and can tell you what it was.

But yeah, it was epic. EPIC.

That first one is mine and The Husband's song. <3. Shows how old we are.

Me too! It's such a good one. <3

I loved this story so much! I'm old, so I totally remember waiting for music to come out, not finding things, hearing a song on the radio and going nuts because there was no title/artist given, etc.

Glad you had that moment again!

Wow, I'da never guessed one of my posts would appear on the home page, but I'm glad you found me and dropped in to comment.

Argh, when they didn't tell you who the artist was! Or when you called up the DJ and BEGGED him to play your favorite song and he just never would because it wasn't in the top 40 ...

Nice to meet ya!

I know, right? I wasted many evenings like that, just WAITING. And then they'd run out of time or whatever.

Nice to meet ya!

You too. Take care!

Great story! I remember going through records in record store bins, hoping to find The Album with The Song. Or being at a friend's house and they had The Album with The Song.

Glad you had that moment, and that it gave you such pleasure.

Glad you enjoyed my story! Yeah, when only your friend had it, and you had to convince them to play it over and over again so you could get your fill? Glad I'm not the only one who remembers and reminisces about those days ...
