I haven’t been able to get enough of “16 Years”, a delicious new track from Phantogram’s Nightlife.
This month, I started writing again as I attempt to participate in National Novel Writing Month. While I haven’t kept up with the 1,600 daily word count, I’ve started the process of transferring my thoughts from mind to paper, which has left me in a nostalgic daze.
In “16 Years”, Sarah wonders if she’s falling in love again, prompting me to consider the last time I felt so inspired…
Early 2010, sitting in my car above Berkeley, staring out across the bay, recounting the lives that lead us to that moment.
Our courtship didn’t survive the summer, but that evening1—its nervous excitement, reckless honesty and naive impulsiveness (during which we ended up at a karaoke room at 2AM)—is something I haven’t felt in a while, but something I’m hopeful to experience again.
(1) I don’t know how she felt in that very moment, but for romantics, love is often a lonely pursuit.
