Well, I was barely able to listen to that shit *while* I was at CEDU.
So, they don't exactly fall into my music rotation outside. I don't really find myself having any sort of flashback reaction to it, except for rocky... which is embarrassment. Don't ask, I have no explanation. I hear the song and I feel embarrassed. Maybe kinda like.. someone might cast a knowing glance about what my experience was with that song, and Ill be all, "no, it doesnt bother me, but thanks for bringing it up, asshole." Kind of like a self-conscious thing. Even though nobody knows so they would never say anything.
Which is WHY I do NOT want to hang out extensively with people from CEDU: collective recognition, on two levels, all of us realizing we just experienced a trigger, then all of us going "oh shit, we all know, don't we?"
It's FUCKING ANNOYING. :flame:
Also, regardless of what people think, I <3 Melanie Safka. She is one kooky chick. "Brand New Key" is a kick ass song, and it's a shame that one of her most popular songs (what they've done to my song, ma) was used not only in the Imagine propheet, but for an oatmeal commercial.
they're playin it for, a buncha kids, and it's turnin out all wrong, ma
