You ever hear a song, and it just takes you back to a specific time or feeling in your life? This just happened to me this morning on my drive to work. Yesterday, someone gave my wife an old-school punk rock (well, Ska, really) zine. It was about the Bouncing Souls, and Less Than Jake. Less Than Jake is quietly one of my favorite bands, so this morning I queued up Spotify, and damn, if their early albums didn’t take me back to summer break during high school.
Just endless days of hanging out with my best friends, driving around listening to tunes, hanging out at Starbucks, hanging out in parking lots, basically just being young and care free.
It’s funny too, where I grew up in North Eastern Pennsylvania, it’s rated as one of the cloudiest parts of the US, but all of my memories seem to be in full sunshine. It seems you
really do remember things through rose-colored glasses.
That’s pretty much all I’ve got for today. Listen to LTJ. I suggest the album Borders & Boundaries.
