early high school, i was obsessed with this album. for some reason, it popped back into my psyche earlier this month. guess
iâve been missing that childish bonfire on the beach feeling.
That feeling from finishing a day in high school and being autumn but still not winter. Like Vampire Weekend's S/T, Interpol, Deerhunter, The strokes..... Truly remembering what being 16/17s was like.... prob gonna make a playlist
in 8th grade my friend megan and i would walk around in the suburbs for miles to each others houses and parks and 7/11 and weâd play these songs at full volume on our iphones. we couldnât drive but we could pick flowers from peoples gardens and go to the park at nightâŠwe stayed within our little neighborhood in our small town but felt so free
today i listened to northern downpour by panic at the disco for the first time in years and i started crying at school! i never thought it would be like this againâŠthat beautiful ass song brings me right back to who i am at my core. nostalgia usually gives me the ick but rn itâs sweet to hold on to. like my whole life is changing so fast but some things will always feel the same
Takes me back to a specific season in my life when I first started listening to that album a lot â the summer a year after I graduated from high school. I'd just returned from nine months overseas and was headed off to college in a couple months. It was a great in between summer: going from one known good to another known good. No relationship at that moment. A gorgeous breezy cool midwestern summer. Working as a waiter. Hanging out. Reading a lot. Bouncing into old friends.
