A cut from their EP. This Memoryhouse track 'The Waves' is the perfect soundtrack to the last 2 days of my life. We're back on the road, heading from Austin to Miami for our show tomorrow night, and the drive has been nothing but dreamlike. Memoryhouse is a part of a group of bands and people that we seem to be more and more intertwined with, so it seems fit to do a post about them. We posted a remix that MillionYoung did for them, and ever since, its felt as if all of our paths were leading in the same direction. Oddly enough, I've had this song sitting in my 'to blog' list for quite some time. Only when I heard it as the sun rose yesterday did I feel like I had to write about it right away. It was all just too beautiful of a moment to pass up.
If you don't have the EP, please go find a way to support Memoryhouse, they are a real talent that I expect to be hearing a lot more of soon. Hit them up on myspace.
Memoryhouse - The Waves
Heart This Song On Hypem
Why this song? Because it reminds me of taking weekend trips to Cape Cod with my father when I was young. I rarely hung out with kids from my school when I was young. Every weekend I would get into his beat up Toyota Celica and we would drive the hour long drive to the Cape. We'd get on our small sailboat Ashtabula, and he'd take me out into Buzzards Bay and teach me to sail. We'd sail to various harbors around the bay and stay for the weekend, returning back home on Sunday night. We did this on almost every weekend we could (weather permitting) until I was almost in high school. Looking back this is a little odd, but it felt pretty normal at the time. Every kid had a different life, this was just mine.
What those weekends gave me though, was a hell of a lot of time in the car, and on the boat, to daydream. I think I listened to my Nirvana - Nevermind cassette so many times that Territorial Pissings actually started to sound like Territorial Pissings. There wasnt much to do but listen to music, read, and think. And so I thought a lot. Usually about whichever girl I was madly in love with at the time.
This brings me back to this roadtrip, and most roadtrips for that matter. They ALWAYS put me back into that mindset. There's nothing like a long carride during the daytime to blur the lines between the waking and sleep world. Dreams become more lucid and hopes and wishes become more emotional and real. Falling asleep and dreaming about a pretty girl that I miss... or a girl from a time long ago... or one that doesn't exist... its something I do a lot.
This roadtrip just seemed to be a one long daydream. A tangled mess of sweet smelling hair, sunkissed skin, and soft eyes. Sometimes you wake up with an ache in your stomach just because you've just lost something that wasn't even there. I can try my best to describe it, but I suspect that you know exactly what I'm talking about. A 10 second glimpse of a girl at a truck stop can be life changing on the road, when you're stuck in sleep purgatory.
Now... This song right here, sounds exactly like what sleep purgatory feels like.
