So I noticed today that when I make a general mix cd there's a similar feel to all the songs. Sure the list includes two or three songs that are added on purely because they're new and I can't get them out of my head, but most fit together. I suppose this shouldnt' be a surprise. The interesting part, and of course the point I'm trying to make, it what the common theme seems to be. This most recent cd can be summed up as songs about missing the last stage of life you left. About wanting to go back and the memories of those people/places/events.
Huh. I didn't know I was feeling like that. The crazy (impressive?) thing is the variety of songs. It's not like I put together a list of tracks that are all slow and "woe is me! I miss..."
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Toxic Toast?
Hot Hot Heat - Shame on You?
Monty Python - The Galaxy Song?!?!?!
How did I not realize the theme sooner? Of course there are songs that were obvious:
Remy Zero - Perfect Memory
Fountains of Wayne - Hackensack
But that's just a handful of songs. So apparently... I've been in a remembering kind of mood lately. Who knew.
