I don’t even know this song. And I woke up with it in my head. I knew her voice, so I looked her up and figured out what song I was singing. Somehow my heart knew the chorus. Thanks, Holy Spirit. :)
I love when a song captures a moment perfectly in your memory. I hear this song, and I remember being a tan, blondish-haired 5th grader (sunbleached from the Alabama Summer), sitting on my family’s back deck. I had my round-cornered beastly CD player boombox playing this CD single on repeat. I’d bought it for $1.99 earlier that day at Wal-Mart, along with the American Girl magazine I was currently enjoying while my Dad grilled steaks on the other side of the deck. It was the 4th of July, and soon we’d be parked in an obscure back parking lot of an abandoned business in downtown Birmingham (The MAGIC City?) watching fireworks explode over the head of the Vulcan that watched over our city. Mmm. Perfect.
Since junior high, this song requires the volume to be maxed out. If I were alone in my car, I’d sing along to, “Hoooooowwww’s it gonna beeeee, when you don’t KNOW MEEEEE.” SO GOOD.
Favorite of the moment.
Another song for the snow!!!
IT’S A HAZY SHAAADE OF WINTAAAA
I. CAN’T. WAIT. FOR. THIS.
I’ve been waiting for two years. My excitement is off the chartsssss.
I <3 Baz Luhrman. And Leo. And Lana Del Rey who is in the soundtrack.
Oi. JOY!!!
One of the best things I’ve ever seen.
I love how Irish the guitar hook in this song sounds…
