Oh, Nigel Thadeus Dade, we hardly knew ye. Perhaps you would have been with us longer were I not compelled to be so unnecessarily wasteful with your soap. Face lather!!! All for a subpar lather, too.
Alright, I wasn't planning to do u/Teufelskraft's #sidetracked thing today, but something happened this morning that only makes sense to talk about in that context.
Weeks ago, I came across this Silvastone - Full Moon Tonight. The vocals give me a kind of speakeasy vibe that I like, if that makes sense. What really caught my ear, though, is that it instantly brought to mind another song, one that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but I could almost hear it while hearing this song.
But I was at a loss, because I was not able to recognize the song that was only vaguely "activated" inside my head, aside from a few bars that may or may not even be right. I resolved that I would just have to wait for it to come up again, and hope that I noticed in the event that that did happen. In the meantime, I wrote down the above song, for reference.
This morning, I came across the note I made to myself, not for the first time since. This time, those same few bars from the mystery song popped into my head. In the weeks since, I don't think I heard whatever song it was. Maybe I had been listening in the wrong places, so I pulled up my Pandora Thumbprint station, thinking it might be more the kind of song that would play there...
Katie Herzig - Hologram was the very first song to play! Never would have guessed; the name doesn't really even have a place in my brain.
Maybe you think I'm crazy, but the "All the ghosts are out, see them dance around through the streets and all over town" sounds just like the "I'm in a love affair without a love song / I'm in the habit of having what I don't want". Enough for my brain to go right to it, anyway, and for me to instantly know that I had found the song well before it even got there. I really thought it would have had the speakeasy thing, too. Oh well, I like the Katie Herzig one far better, anyway.
Now watch me hear a different song in a couple weeks and be like, "Oh, wait, this was the one..."
