📜When I first heard this song, I was 14. I found it on a 7" record from the 80's, along with a Panasonic turntable, collecting dust in the basement. I hooked it up to the stereo, my mother came home, I put it on. I remember us dancing in the living room and although the song was upbeat, she was soon crying.
"This was our song; your father's and mine." He had passed the year before.
We had a mother-and-son-night-in that night I'll never forget. Popcorn, dancing, TV, gossip. Many stories of my dad were told. In the background VH1 was playing, that channel that only plays music from 30 years ago. By chance the music video to that song came on.
Sorry for the wall of text. The music video is by no means a masterpiece, it's just deeply personal for me.
I still miss you, mom.

my mom raised me as a young single mom in the 90s and thusly we shared her music taste. i remember thinking this song was the most beautiful song in the world. we had an old VW Golf with a cd player and The Colour And The Shape was always in there. whenever "Monkey Wrench" inevitably came on the radio, i'd ask my mom if we could listen to "the short song on the cd" which is what i called "Doll". over 25 years later i am still head over heels in love with this song/album, it's a total comfort for me.

🎷Watching her close her eyes, singing, picturing a moment from her youth. I’m emotional.
