I’m not really sure what triggered this strange mood of mine. My mind wanders back to the end of my college days, unearthing a lot of bittersweet memories. (And do I even have any memories that just have the sweet and not the bitter?)
Ever since junior high, and perhaps even farther back than that, I’ve found that I have a habit of keeping track of time by tying events together with songs that were popular at the time. For a while, me and my friends from college would compile our yearly “best-of” playlist and share them, but we haven’t done it in a while now.
Even though iTunes makes managing music pretty painless, I think there is still something to the art of making a mixtape mix CD mp3 playlist. Not quite as challenging as actually mixing perhaps, but I think some of the principles are the same.
In any case, back to 1997:
- Boyz II Men “4 Seasons of Loneliness”
- Janet Jackson “Every Time” (Bah, I can’t find a decent version of the video on YouTube)
- Laurnea “Can’t Let Go” (D’oh! Not on YouTube. Not sure what this looks like because WMP doesn’t really work on my Mac)
