Saves the Day - Take Our Cars Now!
Ozma - Eponine
Gloria Record - A Lull in Traffic
This Brave Bird song, Rekindle, reminds me so much of the catchy and breathtakingly dramatic songs I used to listen to (frequently and also with great drama) from ages 19-24. Dudes and guitars, brooding! Even the most minor of quotidian events incites frighteningly intense introspection! I love it, if I'm being honest. Sometimes it's nice to have music that mimics and gives shape to the largely inexpressible (or just sort of ridiculous) turbulence that comes with the emotions (boredom/nostalgia/lust/despair) of that late-teenagerhood/early-twenties time. Brave Bird knows this well.Rekindle *immediately* brought to mind a dozen songs, though the most prominent of these are above: Saves the Day's Take Our Cars Now!, Ozma's Eponine (great song), and Gloria Record's A Lull in Traffic. All of which at one point appeared on a mix CD given to me in college, and which I subsequently deployed on mixes I made for other people. They're all in that same tone as Rekindle, and all comforting in their own ways.[BUY T-Minus Grand Gesture][BUY Ups & Downs][BUY Spending Time on the Borderline][BUY A Lull in Traffic]
