I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wandered, I guessed, and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned!
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
Which has nothing to do with anything here, except that I've been listening to--and completely loving--The Waterboys lately. They were a favorite of mine during college (though their first albums came out when I was in high school). I am not overly musically nostalgic, in that I don't think the music of my youth was the best ever. (I truly hate a lot of 80s music and think it's crap.) But rediscovering The Waterboys has been utter happiness.
And that is what love of vintage is all about, no? Rediscovering quality items from the past, and giving them new life, and delighting in them!
