One of my brothers made a mixed cd for me a while back and I've been listening to it a lot lately. It's got Ben Folds, The Decemberists, Elliott Smith, Smoking Popes, Brian Eno, Flight of the Conchords, and some other music that takes me back to this or that time in my life. It also has REM's Night Swimming. And, I'll tell ya, holy smokes, this song makes me weepy every single time. I just want to propel myself back to being a teenager (for this and only this reason...) making out with my boyfriend in the Summer night by the lake. It's dreamy and orchestral and forces nostalgia in your face. I have no choice but to dive in and feel it all... the possibilities and dreams that sprung from that time in my life.
I'm happy to report that my life these days has far exceeded my hopes.
Wishing you a dreamy weekend filled with moments you will carry with you for many many years.
Love,
Cath
