I Forgot

I forgot how good it feels to listen to your favorite music after not listening to it for a while. I've been going through this sort of alternative phase with bands like Phoenix and Franz Ferdinand and so I haven't been listening to, say, Tegan and Sara lately. I just had my iPod on shuffle and an acoustic version of "The Con" came on and I literally lost my breath. I can't remember what I was doing before the song came on, but somewhere between Tegan's awkward introduction and the final note, I laid down, closed my eyes, and released every ounce of stress from my body.

I love familiarity.

PS- I could literally feel the notes of the song washing over me and leaving chills behind.

PPS- Every time I hear "encircle me" I hear it in a screamo voice. Thank you, Sara Quin.

PPPS- My 7 year old brother and his friend are in the next room singing "Teenage Dream." Society.

PPPPS- HAPPY ALASKA DAY!
