Every time I hear Tracey Thorn's voice, I get goose bumps. EBTG, more than any other musical act, defined college for me. Driving, Rollercoaster, and When All's Well still give me nostalgic flashbacks of uncomplicated days. I hear a mish-mash of familiar voices, I see friendly faces floating tentatively near the edges of fuzzy memories, and I can almost feel the ground under my feet while strolling through misty but recognizable places on campus glowing in oddly golden sunlight.
A decade-and-a-half ago, I graduated with a long, long sigh.
I told myself I wasn't going to look back - well maybe just a little. After all, the people I cared about were moving on to the real world.
But today, I miss them all.
I think I'll get off my lazy butt and take a short, nostalgic run through the campus this weekend. Just for old time's sake.
