A song I didn't know *until* it was added to this play list. [Note ... "play list" is a decidedly modern word that I'm using as a substitute for those kids who might be reading this and who got confused as soon as they realized I was talking about a cassette tape.]
But when I heard it for the first time, it was so spot on -- capturing that moment in one's life where one struggles on the cusp between adult and youth, remembering simpler easier times, all wrapped up in a wistful tone ...
"When we were kids when we were young
Things seemed so perfect -- you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin' -- we just lived for fun"
Of course ... there was also the fact that we all were quite into Days of our Lives at the time, even scheduling lunch around the show ... and that we were all *living* our own version of Days of our Lives (like sands through *our* hourglass) ... so its selection worked on all kinds of levels. And the final thought in the tune still works all these years later, also on so many levels ... "when I look ... and I find ... I still love you ..."
