 |
|
I was just driving back in my car tonight and i was thinking how strange it is that some songs i really love are unkown by others and they probertly even if they listen to it will never get that feel i get with them becausse i combine them with nostalgic
the song on the radio i heard was T99 anastacia a simple techno song but it brought up memmory's of being at high school sitting in the backyard of my parrents with some friends drinking (probertly one of my first) beers
and the laughs we had.
I probertly told before that susan's housse is one of my favourit tracks becausse i once walkes in st,kilda melbourne (at that time a dodgy neigbourhood) to the housse where my friend called susan lived and tripple J played that song it was like magic i knew eels from pinkpop 96 and the nighttown gig i had to think about my friends who went with me to this concerts, but walking trough this area hearing this song on my walkmanradio and indeed going to susan's house i had no words for it
i got some more of these memory's that make some tracks more special to me.
and i'm sure more of you do tell us why you love some tracks becausse of the memory they make you recall

Sure, I think I get what you're saying. I think I'll forever associate "Dead of Winter" with getting lost in a small town in central Wisconsin...that was the first place I felt I really "got" ESB. That doesn't mean I only think of central Wisconsin when I hear it, but the music fit so well, late at night in this sort of broken town...
Most of the music of my teenage years still holds up pretty well. Sure, I listen to The Smiths, New Order, etc. with a different ear now, and that's ok.

I remember when i was about fourteen, i discovered soul asylum's runaway train and i would play it over and over. And i remember my dad passing by my room one day when it was on and he said something like, "you know that songs about drugs." That's all i remember about the whole conversation. I don't think any more was said actually.
I don't even know why i remember this incident at all. But i do remember that song really meant a lot to me then. and now whenever i hear this song, I always think of all the times i played it over and over and how much i loved listening to it.
for eels songs, beautiful freak is the first song that instantly caught my attention. I remember exactly where i was when i first heard it and how it made me feel. It's just such a sweet song.
i remember calling my friend Jonathan (who lent me the album) and telling him, "i think that beautiful freak song is for you". i'm such a retard, i know.

Place Your Hands by Reef always reminds me of playing minkey in about year 6 at school. My friend and I used to sing it to the goalie of an opposing team that looked like a girl. Good times

Our friend Wikipedia says:
| Quote: |
| Minkey is a modified form of field hockey for primary school children. The name is derived from "MINi hocKEY", and originated in Australia more than 20 years ago. It is currently offered in Under 7 and Under 9 variants throughout Australia, on more or less half sized fields, and with simplified rules. |

I think you've done it all yourself with the phrase 'Minkey mocking'.
