Song Timewarps
I love the way music catapults me back in time. It’s one of the coolest feelings I know. I hear an old song, and suddently I’m that age again, that mood, that person. Call them Song Timewarps
The best thing is that the songs are often total crap. I have a habit of getting obsessed with bad songs and listening to them over and over again. Call it a numbness to stimuli.
Well, my current song is “Gravity Rides Everything” by Modest Mouse, which I picked up from a Nissan Quest commercial. I’ve got plenty more.
