feelin’ old
October 20th, 2006 by Lawrence David
it’s just happened again – some melancholy song randomly starts playing in the background and i can’t shake the feeling of being old. it’s this sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach; it feels like that terrible homesickness on the first night of college. maybe more like the despair you get when you see a summer crush for the last time. i feel like i’ve lost something that i can’t get back.
it’s so strange – i’m 23 for godsakes. and yet, every time i hear these certain songs, i suddenly have this acute awareness of all the time that’s passed by. it’s happened a couple of times this week. my no-play-list so far: “let go” and “brian wilson.”
gah, what a drama queen.
Is that how you felt that last time you would see me at the end of the Open each year?
How sweet!
why would there be any doubt?
“Brian Wilson” — totally. I remember listening to Rock Spectacle over and over back in the day. Should I be sharing this?
