random thought of the evening
So, you ever just sitting there listening to the radio or iTunes or whatever random music device you use and a song comes on that reminds you of something, or some place or somebody, but in such a specific, raw, terrible way that it feels like you are being kicked in the gut over and over and over until you just might puke, yet you keep listening anyhow?
Just wondering.
Oh, and I adopted a hedgehog.
| adopt your own virtual pet! |
Gave him the obvious name/color.
Haha keep clicking him. My god, I am easily amused.
Comments
Not quite that viceral, but i find i get reminiscent when i listen to pennywise and black flag. I've recalled memories of several people that way.
Punk just makes me nostalgic, i guess.
:-D

Worse.
I put the songs on the iPod for that purpose.

Sounds like a Hall of Fame category, though the inscription might have to be teensy-weensy.
And, yes to your question. Through an odd set of circumstances, that song for me is 'Karma Chameleon'

"Don't Close Youe Eyes" by Kixx. Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend.

Or, for those who can type correctly, "Don't Close YOUR Eyes".
sighs Someday I'll remember to click 'preview' first before clicking 'post'.

Big Head Todd.& the Monsters: Broken Hearted Savior.
Makes me want to slam myself in the head with a shovel just thinking about it.

Sonic Reminder: "Love, Reign O'er Me"
I hear it, and I'm thinking about upchucking at Midland Beach.
(we ate a LOT of 'ludes and drank a LOT of beers...god, I miss high school)
And stared at the surf.
LOVE!!!

Damned superfluous punctuation. I swear that comma was staring at me earlier at Protein Wisdom, and I saw it wearing a trilby and a fake mustache at Dean's World.

I would've named him "Dinsdale" ;)

I am a bit older but "A Free man in Paris" always brings a catch to my breath as I remember a late evening a number of years ago with a woman who wasn't "The One" no matter how much I wanter her to be at the moment.

Bitter Suite by Marillion. Heard it last night for the first time in probably ten years, and it was still like a sparkling fresh dagger.

Dear Old Dad by Blind Melon
I can smell my apartment in Miami back in '94 whenever I hear that song. It's eerie. The combination of fresh carpet, pesticide and cheap furniture overwhelm me (I lived there with my ex).
