There's a 70s/80s/90s postpunk, new romantic, alternative club about once a month here. They always play this. We always hit the dancefloor.
Love it.

Day 12: A song for or about the person you cannot get out of your head.
I was 15, she was 16. We met on a high school whitewater rafting trip, started talking, and never quit. Pre-Internet and pre-cell phones, so six or more hours a day on landlines that summer. A couple movies, a couple meet ups. Friends -- then a long talk and our first kiss. Things, as I like to say, got complicated, and we were together off and on and off for almost three years. It was epic in the way that only a high school love can be. Blood, sweat, and tears, for real. Songs written, and not by me (my garage band had a regular song on our set list called "Shut Up About (her name)." She thought that was hilarious). She was so many of my firsts. Not my first kiss, but my first kiss that mattered. First woman that I told I loved. The first woman to say she loved me back, though it was two weeks later and prefaced with " this scares the hell out of me, but..." First woman I was in love with, one of very few.
It ended badly when it ended for good. On our last night together, I told her I would love her until the day I die before I walked away. Six years later, I found myself back in Portland, and I ran into her at a toy store. She had another man's ring on her hand and his baby in her arms, but I still loved her. Different, but still real. She was happy, and as we talked, any bitterness from how it ended evaporated. And the universe is funny -- we run into each other every handful of years. She even worked the same floor as my wife for a while -- my last name is rare, so she asked about me. (They compared notes. That was uncomfortable, heh). I loved her then, I love her still. And I am smiling as I type this.
This song was popular when we were together, and it works so much better now. And it will always be true. True, and real.

Yes, her name was Sarah. Probably still is, come to think of it.

Day 12: A song for or about the person you cannot get out of your head.
I had a long distance relationship once. I was in Stockholm, she was in Malmö, we were kids with 400 miles between us. It didn't last long...but that was a wonderful year. Never spent so much time on the train, reading, writing, musing.
She had schizophrenia. It was my first encounter with severe mental illness, and, being a teen I had no idea how to help, or how to cope. We'd be cuddling in the couch, when she'd start screaming, crying, wailing because there was an army of people standing around her, taunting her, belittling her, telling her to do things or she'd be worth nothing, to anyone. To her, they were as real as I. And my voice couldn't break through the din.
It was hard. Harder than I could handle. I didn't know how, so I broke it off.
She introduced me to a poet from the "state" of Skåne where Malmö is. Emil Jensen. It's been decades, but I still think of her whenever I listen to him.

Combine teen angst, unrequited love, and the advent of the Walkman, and that explains why I listened to this over and over again while admiring her from afar (and not so far).

She loved singing this song with her developmentally disabled sister much to their mother’s chagrin.
Her birthday was last month. I’ll never not miss her.

I sang this song for him. With rewritten lyrics.
He will always have my heart, should he want it.

“I watch you floatin' in my free drink
You're the loose thread of a no strings situation
A midnight altercation
I hear you echo in a ‘why not?’
In a frat house with the lights off in a basement
A game I wasn't playin' but still lost”
Taylor Bickett - The Crime

There aren't words that are adequate, so I will just say thank you for posting this, and for this song. I am still processing it. There is more, but just thank you.

I don't really watch anymore either. I don't know any of the cast members, other than Jost, Che, and Keenan. It's a far cry from their heyday, because hey There's no Gumby Dammit!Day 10: So, for their fiftieth anniversary, pick a song you like that was played on Saturday Night Live
I haven't really watched SNL very often since Colin and Michael took over Weekend Update, they're fine I guess, but they're no Tina and Amy. Maybe the cast is as good as ever and I'm just old but it doesn't hit the same. The musical performances however, I'll still watch those!
Did I just pick this song (music video version) two days ago? Yes. But Lady Gaga only just performed it on SNL this week so now I get to pick it againI'm simply so fucking happy to see her back in peak form, absolutely serving. And if I'm being a lit bit chaotic, I'm ok with that. At least I bested my first instinct

Day 12: A song for or about the person you cannot get out of your head
Maybe I'm reading into this the wrong way but I don't know that there is anyone I can't get out of my head. There are people from my past that pop up in my thoughts from time to time but if it's in an unpleasant way, they're evicted expeditiously.
I was recently thinking back to my bestie from middle school. We weren't just boy-crazy, more boy-certifiably-insane. When we weren't obsessing over boys and teachers at school, there was Adam Levine who we both agreed was absolutely dreamy. And that first Maroon 5 album holds up surprisingly well so I think I'll finish listening to it now because I'm not into much of their newer stuff.
