about

The opening lyrics for this track came to me one day when I was in the Sheehy Hall laundry room on the second floor. Of our six senses, smell is the most closely tied to memory. It inspired me to write this song and the guitar part for it. I am playing my Taylor 214ce electric acoustic guitar. This song also touches on various memories from my years at Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis, MA, where I graduated from in June 2009.

lyrics

The smell of the laundry room
reminds me of your house
leads me to romanticize
what feels like so long ago
relaxing in those cozy midcape towns
in the fading twilight
(oh! oh! oh! oh!)
Driving home from North Falmouth,
I can really say
from Senior Job Shadow Day,
that you almost knew me that day
that you almost knew me that day
that day
so long ago,
way long in the past,
I think back, "Why didn't it last?"
and then I remember
I never fit in at all
until now for very long,
ironically right now my hair
can't stop blowing into the hairstyle
that I wanted three years ago,
in the streets of Hyannis.

Super dreamy and spacey, just the way I like it. Beautiful music, recommended for fans of Best Coast, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, and other bands. Check 'em out! "D'Arrest" is my favorite! Reuben Walton
