What songs bring you back to a certain time in your life?
It feels like every year I clean out my closet and find the same box of mixtapes. Every year I consider getting rid of them, and then I put one on.
Back in high school, it was an hour drive to the movie theatre. Once a week my friend Jeff would borrow his Dad’s 1981 powder blue Lincoln, and we’d go to the movies. Before he picked me I’d plan out the soundtrack for the trip.
On the way home we’d flip the tape and listen to Side B. The song that always ended the tape (filling in that seemingly impossible 2 min spot) was Hardship Post's ‘Watchin You’. Every time I hear it, it brings me back.
