is it even real?
oh...death cab.
i spent a couple hours killing time in my car talking about music and the old local scene seattle used to have roughly between 01 and 08... all the glory bands like daphne and ghost runner and what not. i had a mix in my cd player (not by coincidence at all, it was what playlist i'd posted a few days ago) and he'd asked what album the death cab song was on.
"transatlanticim"
it came out without any hesitation... there was no thought involved in my answer.
weird, huh? i don't know, i mean,
is that even what it's on? i don't own the album.... i don't think i have any death cab albums at all, and i don't think i've even listened to any of the albums it all the way through. it was just.... something i know. where did it come from? is it just a seattle thing?
but i love the way the word sounds. i've been saying it over and over again to myself, mostly in thought... but it's slipped out every once and a while.
transatlanticism....
maybe it's just a seattle thing.
Waaaay back when that album was released a friend of mine and I had a conversation thinking about how Transatlanticism is the most fitting name for that record.
ReplyDeletei've finally gotten around to listening to a bit of the transatlanticism album (it's so lovely, and such a lovely title) and it gives me the same feeling x&y does (even though they sound a bit different).
ReplyDeleteahhh music..
