nostalgia

You know when you're still young... eight, nine... and you hear songs that tap into that adolescent void of feeling, of emotion that has nowhere to go. The overwhelm, the darkness, all of that stuff that swells there but you can't name it or own it yet. You know?

I had this song, it was on the same tape as Ebony and Ivory, if that helps with chronology at all.

And god, I loved it. It swept me away. Before any of the other more grown up emotional music I embraced in my teens, this one did it for Tweenie Jo. I used to listen to the album going asleep each night, and listened to this song so... fervently.

God bless Youtube, I'll say it again.
