I'm supposed to be getting ready for school but what the heck, I've got time for a short entry. Last night as I was lying in bed trying to lull myself to sleep with my own boring thoughts, it occured to me that university wouldn't be one of those times in my life I'd recall with a lot of joy and fond memories (okay, so I'm only into my first semester, I can't imagine it getting any better). I was listening to the radio and Savage Garden's To The Moon And Back came on, and it was as if I was transplanted back to my secondary school days, I didn't just have memories, I actually remember what it FELT like back then listening to the song, and I kind of associated it (the song) with me mugging for Chemistry (a subject I failed in sec 3), I think it's because Sabrina loved the song and was always singing it, and I attended Chem tuition with her. New music bores me. It doesn't have that same provocative/evocative feeling for me as music had when I listened to it in my younger days, and that's why I'm always talking about music in the mid 90s, when it had the most impact on me, emotionally. Music nowadays doesn't have that same stirring effect, and that's why I hardly bother switching on the radio these days, because it just pisses me off a whole lot. I won't even buy the new Suede album although I LOVED their last two albums.
