It's strange, and sometimes vaguely frightening, how strongly a song can be tied to a certain place/time. The song I'm currently listening to has a cold, slightly depressed feeling attached to it that makes me feel like I'm sitting in the house I lived in two years ago in the middle of winter (Not that the song itself is depressing - rather the opposite, in fact). It doesn't just make me remember it - it makes me feel like I'm actually there. I can see my room and the overcast sky out the window, feel my bed under me, and smell/feel the slight stuffiness of the room, as it's been too cold to open the window for a while now.

That was a very painful year. I'm not sure why I'm feeling nostalgic about it, but the memory really isn't an unpleasant one.

I like this CD. I think I will get another by them.

No, it isn't a sad song. I think the feelings associated with it have more to do with where I was in life at the time I first heard it than the song itself.

While I'm in love with this CD, I've never really followed them, so I didn't know they were getting back together. When's the SF concert? I'm in the general area and would consider going to that.

ALL their CDs are good...sorry to say. Because they cost money and are worth owning.

The San Fran concerts are five days in December. ARound the 16 to 22nd, or something like that. I am probably heading down with a friend, so we should hook up if you are attending.
