Day 5 - A Song that Reminds Me of Someone
"Sharp Dressed Man"- ZZ Top [video]
My friend, JD (aka Soldier Boy [said in an outrageous French accent], aka Blackrose, aka Handsome). He is insanely pretty, and this is coming from someone who doesn't do skinny boys. He's a live-action bishonen, like something that jumped out of a Korean Teen Drama. The Marines have slapped some muscle on him and he's always been a sharp dresser, in and out of character. It's also a very strutty song, one that will forever bring to mind the early days of Blackrose (which is how I will always see that character). He's dashing, roguish, charming, cheerful, and a total renaissance man (violinist, composer, linguist, swordsman, soldier, diplomat...). *sigh* If I weren't married.
Day 6 - A Song that Reminds Me of Somewhere
"Starry Eyed Surprise"- Paul Oakenfold [video]
I had this song on a custom CD my sophomore year of High School, the year I was accepted into Varsity Choir (the Treble Choir, not as demanding as the Show or "Madrigal" groups, but more advanced than the SATB). Varsity was one of the three groups that went to competitions. That year, because of 9/11, there would be no competition in NYC, so we decided to go to the one in Myrtle Beach. This song came on as we were pulling in at sunrise on the Friday before we competed. At 15, I felt insanely grown up. I was away from home without my mother, strolling down the boardwalk, going to dinner, able to stay up late. So, something about that moment makes this song forever symbolize Myrtle Beach and that feeling of being old enough to know better and not old enough to give a damn yet. We're at the beach, dude! Party on!
( Now, for more serious matters... )
