"It's the backseat of a convertible driving through a cookie-cutter neighborhood in the heat of summer, when the sky looks as if it could be the ocean, as if you could swim in it. It's the timelessness of the playground, when existence is just a series of time slots without knowledge of anything else. It's the heartbreak of not knowing what you will do without someone, and the heartbreak of the possibility they will forget you. It's the joy of being with someone, two people in a crowd, reckless and imaginative. It's seeing something rough and pock-marked as smooth and undefinable; and seeing the dimensions of something smooth."
When I listen to this music I feel a pain inside and remember MTV memories, not even of my past but of the classic images of children walking down railroad tracks and getting a soda at a gas station after school, all in the gritty sepia-tone camera shot. Their sound is so nostalgic its almost like they were recalling the "golden years" while still in their prime. There's something sad about that.
