Rec | CITIZEN - THE SUMMER

☀️

Rec'd on 🎶 SONGS THAT TELEPORT YOU TO A DIFFERENT TIME IN YOUR LIFE?

Takes me back to junior year of high school, Being sad/angsty (not much has changed in that dept) going to the lake, spending my youth with my friends (most of who I don’t talk to anymore) yearning for something greater than myself. Simpler times.

Omg I have strong memories attached to this album too! This immediately takes me back to college and feeling out of place on campus and working at papa John’s and going to rock shows with a guy who never loved me back (in hindsight this is absolutely a good thing)

This must be the place (naive melody) - talking heads

this year was filled with a lot of making it up as i went along and reminding myself that i do, in fact, have plenty of time. i was figuring out where, who, or what felt right and what to do and how to do it etc, etc, and this song was just a calming anthem to return to. i also have fond memories of listening to it (maybe a little too much) during the summer, and i really miss those sweaty firefly filled nights. this was one of the first summers i’ve ever missed; i usually despise the heat. so, i feel like that stands for something.

SIMPLE SONG: THE SHINS

Reminds me of Highschool "Well this is just a simple song To say what you done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean Being warmed by the sun"

Summer’s over - jordana, tv girl

“Isn’t it strange how the shade can burn / How you can go to school but you can never learn / Taking flights when the weather changes / We’ll both be birds in our separate cages” Peacefully bitersweet song that I found recently and have been listening to on repeat. I was already familiar with TV Girl, having listened to Death of a Party Girl in high school. Hadn’t heard of Jordana, but her voice is pretty. I’m actually moving towards Summer as I write this, so I guess the lyrics have almost a pre-emptive nostalgia for me. I may be listening to this again in a few months with another layer of emotion, depending how things turn out…
