Celebrated Summer
While shuffling through some MySpace pages I came across the page for some Husker Du fans and had a wistful set of memories come over me.
It’s such a visceral feeling when the first few riffs of a ‘CLASSIC’ song tug away at your core… Such is the case with ‘Celebrated Summer’. Whoa – that took me back really far down memory lane. Late night skate sessions behind the seniors residence – trying to teach myself to ollie and doing all I could to escape from my parents and my homework. Hanging out with Tobi, Tracey and Wendy – going to gigs and trying to make a difference with the short-lived East Coast ‘Punx for Peace’.
Love and hate was in the air, like pollen from a flower
Somewhere in April time, they add another hour
I guess I’d better think up a way to spend my time
Just when I’m ready to sit inside, it’s summer time
Should I go fishing or get a friend to hang around
It’s back to summer, back to basics, hang around
Getting drunk out on the beach, or playing in a band
And getting out of school meant getting out of hand
Was this your celebrated summer? Was that your celebrated summer?
Then the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds
I summer where I winter at, and no one is allowed there
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell
When summer barely had a snowball’s chance in Hell?
